Unmissable experience in Cape Town!! - A once in a lifetime wildlife voyage- we were not only lucky with the weather, but even more so with our guide, Rick, who was so knowledgable and passionate about the marine life. We saw various species of dolphins, two types of whales, endless seals and even some penguins. We learned a lot about how to read animal behaviour- for example if you see many terns circling in the sky head over as there will be something causing the disturbance. We treasure the memories and definitely hope to return one day.

A fantastic, high-speed wildlife tour with a great skipper - Our guide Paul was fantastic. He explained to us where we would be going, and why. He was a great skipper and had a good sense of humour. The boat is a big thrill, going much faster than we expected, but driven expertly, so no seasickness. Weather wasn’t perfect on our trip (you can’t blame Ocean Wonder for that!) so we didn’t get to see any whales, but Paul went above and beyond to make sure we would see dolphins, and seals, even after our trip was supposed to have finished.

Highly recommended - Amazing tour! We were really lucky with the weather and got to see a ton of seals, a sunfish and then right at the end, a humpback. Also great to see the city from the water and Paul was a great guide!

Great experience altogether - We had a great two hours on the boat with Paul. He shared a lot of his knowledge and experience of the ocean with us and did his best to make sure we saw two hump whales, a small pod of dolphins and many seals. I would surely go again!

A Treat on the Water - Paul treated us to a wonderful 2 hour excursion in search of dolphins, whales and seals. He knew exactly where to find a super pod of dolphins. In the US we usually see a few dolphins together, this was at least 100 dolphins, quite the spectacle. There were seals galore and we enjoyed watching them play and sleep. We did catch a glimpse of a whale! I loved that Paul shared his knowledge of how these animals behave and interact. It was a fantastic 2 hour adventure.

10 out of 10, would recommend! - We had such an amazing ocean safari adventure with our guide Paul. His boat and equipment are all very well cared for, we felt comfortable, safe, andwe always had a good view. Paul made excellent use of the perfect weather and our time together, covering a long span of coastline and taking some breaks to chat about what signs to look for, local ecology and other fun facts. Paul was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and it is obvious that he has an abundance of love and respect for the ocean and local wildlife. Lastly we saw (almost) everything. Cape seals, penguins, other shorebirds, two types of dolphins doing fully acrobatics, multiple humpback whales. Some of this stuff came right up alongside the boat which was so cool!. Thanks Paul for the excellent morning together. We'll repeat next time we visit Cape Town.
