Ocean Wonder

Ocean Wildlife Encounter

Cape Town

  SA residents can contact us for discounted rates on whole boat charters.

Activity Description

Ocean Wonder is an owner-run service that offers boat-based Ocean Wildlife Encounters. These intimate trips don’t follow any set route. Instead, I’m guided by my understanding and ongoing observation of this environment, the creatures in it, and the ever-changing water and weather conditions.

These trips are all about finding and, where possible, interacting with some of the amazing creatures that frequent the rich waters around Cape Town.

Notes

Close encounters of the amazing kind
These trips are all about finding and, where possible, interacting with some of the amazing creatures that frequent the rich waters around Cape Town.

Expert Guided trips
There’s no set route. We’ll go where we can to find our oceanic friends. Normally it’s in the Table Bay area. I’m guided by local knowledge of the weather, the ocean and the patterns and movements of creatures in it.

Incredible environment
Besides the amazing animals that we encounter, it’s a really fun boat ride in an incredibly beautiful environment. The views of Table Mountain and Robben Island are amazing too.

The boat – Ocean Wonder
Ocean Wonder is a 7.2m Ballistic semi-rigid inflatable (SRI), powered by 2 × 90hp Yamaha motors. She’s very safe and has been approved by The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) as a commercial charter boat, allowed to carry up to 11 passengers. She’s furnished with all the required safety equipment and more.

Physical requirements
Pregnant women and people with back injuries that might be aggravated by the boat should be aware that it can be a bumpy ride.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful trip! Highly recommended! - Karen

Really nice trip and guide! - Nicolas

Went on the water for the fifth time! It's a sea safari. Book! Paul is great. - Dmitri

We've now been twice on the trip - once 3 years ago and once again now. Both trips were utterly incredible. Seeing different types of dolphins, humpback whales, sunfish, African penguins and seals. Paul is absolutely amazing. I recommend this trip to anyone I know that goes to Cape Town. Truly memorable. - Henry

Excellent experience. Saw so many humpback whales and dolphins with the Cape Town skyline. 10/10. - Mona
