Great whale watching with amazing guide - The trip was amazing! Poul is a really good, informative and friendly guide, who was happy to share a lot of insights about South African history, culture and current events, really making the most of any transportation time too. The whale watching itself was tremendous - friendly staff, great boat that feels very safe, and we were very fortunate with multiple encounters of whales and marine life. Overall had a great day and good time!
