Wow. Just wow. We went out in search of humpback & came across a huge pod of common dolphins. Hundreds of them. Fabulous. Having followed them for a while we went off in search of humpbacks, only to be redirected by the land spotter back to the dolphins to catch the killer whale. So we did. We followed the killer whale for about 30 minutes as it chased down the dolphins & eventually caught them up. Ouch!! Spectacular. Can't remember if we saw any humpbacks...

Fantastic trip saw mother and baby humpback whale and hundreds of dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Brilliant experience from start to finish and one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to South Africa.

We got to see 3 whales close up. They have a spotter on land which increases the chances of seeing whales. The guide and captain answered questions and then promoted more learning by asking the tourists questions in a fun way. This filled the time between the whales surfacing and diveing. We also saw seals and a penguin but only after they had found the main focus of the trip, whales. The trip included exciting fast travel in the boat and good views of the coastline. I suffer from motion sickness but took a pill beforehand and had no problems during the outing,

We had a great time on this outting. They were so helpful from booking through the end of our tour! I highly recommend this outting. We saw Bryde whales, a huge pod of dolphins and seals!
