Great experience!! - This was such a beautiful experience!! Paul is a great tour guide, very kind and a good captain. He had lots to tell about everything, but also gave space to just enjoy it all. We got to see a big pod of dolphins straight away, which was just magical with the views of Cape Town in the background. Our timing was a bit unfortunate for whale spotting so we didn’t get to see those. But lots of dolphins all around, seals, and penguins were so fun to watch! The views on the water are spectacular. All communication and payment went supersmooth. I highly recommend this trip!

5 stars is not enough! - We were so lucky to do this tour! Our guide , Paul, put the tour back by an hour but Fran kept us up to date all the time. Paul was so knowledgeable and passionate about this tour that it was like we were friends not customers. His experience of the area was invaluable and we were lucky enough to see Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and both Humpback and Bryde whales. This is one of the most memorable experiences of our lives and we cannot recommend this tour enough. Please book early as this is not just a tourist boat with lots of people on where maybe money is the overriding factor but a man who cares about his job and the environment he says he is so lucky to work in! Thanks Paul for this amazing experience!

Cape Town ocean wildlife adventure - The trip was outstanding! Our guide Paul is extremely knowledgeable and customer focused. He knows the seas outside Cape Town and provided a fantastic 2 hour tour. We saw seals, a mother and baby whale and spent 30 or so minutes interacting with a playful pod of dolphins. We highly recommend this tour!!

Better than we could have imagined! - The sea is a vast place and wildlife is unpredictable... this is all true... yet somehow, on this trip we managed to see cape fur seals, African penguins, sperm whales, a humpback whale, a sunfish (never seen one of those before, will never forget it) and best of all, a pod of around 200 dolphins swimming and showing off around our boat! Paul and his lovely wife were not only great at spotting animals, they were also able to tell us lots about them, so we came away feeling amazed and informed. We'll now be keeping a close eye, back in England, on the state of the poor African penguins and hoping something is done quickly to stop them from going extinct.
