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.
Close encounters of the amazing kind

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.

Amazing! Had a wonderful evening on the boat. Great information, sights and company overall! Would recommend anyone to spend some time with this crew! - Jan
Paul took us out on a boat ride that we shall never forget as a family! We came across all the sorts of beautiful creatures of the sea on the cape. Whales, dolphins, sunfish, and of course seals. The kids got special treatment in getting a turn at the wheel. Paul a very calm and informative host! Recommend highly. Thanks so much. - Natasha
Fantastic ocean experience with Paul, cannot recommend enough. It was our 4th trip with Ocean Wonder and we took our adult kids with us who absolutely loved it. Obviously you can't guarantee sightings but we saw heavy side and dusky dolphins, southern right whales, seals, gannets and a sun fish!! Will be booking again for next year and recommend Ocean Wonder to all our British friends who have realised the magic of South Africa. - Sam
