An up-close experience with whales and penguins - Tingo guided us on an awesome whale watching trip at Hermanus. It was a memorable experience thanks to the crew's expertise and enthusiasm. The whales were really close to us. The curious penguins at Betty Bay never fail to amaze me with their movements. It enriched the whole trip with Tingo's commentary. Anybody looking for a whale watching adventure should take this tour!

Fantastic Tour! - We had a fantastic day with Tingo, visiting Hermanus, seeing whales and dolphins, and visiting Betty’s bay to see penguins and finishing off with the beautiful scenery at the coast. Tingo is an excellent and knowledgeable guide who knows the area well and showed us some beautiful hidden spots, and above all he’s a fantastic guy! 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Wonderful day with Tingo - What an amazing day, from the minute Tingo picked us up to the minute we arrived home. We were so fortunate to see a humpback, southern right whales with calves and countless dolphins. Tingo shared a beautiful coastal walk with us and took us to a lovely restaurant. From there we had a wonderful time seeing the penguins at Betty's Bay and all the time we felt we were in the company of a friend. Thank you Tingo.

Hermanus is a dream! - Really enjoyed this full day private tour with Santa Cruise Tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the city and the history. The route was scenic and so pretty. We had ample time for lunch and did a few stops in between for pictures. Pickup was timely and the car was comfortable and clean. I cannot recommend this company enough for your South African site seeing needs.

Beautiful whales and incredible views - The experience was absolutely fantastic, not just the whale watching portion of the tour but even the journey to the event was very scenic. The whales were absolutely beautiful and we were really able to see them so close up. Tingo made sure I had a great time and gave me a lot of information about Cape Town throughout the day. He took the time to personalise the experience and made sure I really enjoyed myself! I highly recommend this tour, it was really a magical day.

Whale watching with Santacruize Tours - Great experience. Our boat guide and whale enthusiast did a great job. We saw three different types of whales and some seals. Our private guide was professional, provided great conversation, and a little rescue treat for oncoming seasickness. Dress warm.
