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.

My third adventure with ocean wonder.. It's an incredible experience and healing body, mind and soul. Thank you, I will come soon again - Dorly
I've done this trip with visitors a number of times and it never fails to disappoint. Paul is so knowledgeable and makes the time on the water very interesting and a lot of fun. He goes over and above to find the sea life. The friend who i took recently absolutely loved the trip. wouldn't hesitate to recommend this adventure! - Sue
The BEST time to do the boat charter is most definitely at 7am! We had the most incredible morning out on the boat with Rob, who was our skipper. It was great be on the ocean early in the morning and to be able to escape the crowds. The sunrise views were breathtaking, the water was peaceful and the wildlife was incredible. We learned so much on this trip from Rob, who is also an excellent guide, he has a wealth of knowledge about the marine wildlife and the ocean. I look forward to booking many more trips like this with Ocean Wonder. I've also posted a review here:https://maps.app.goo.gl/zFTTrEpr7ALaVFyF9 - Toni
This was one of the best wildlife experience we had in South Africa. The trip gave us panoramic views of Table mountain and the 12 Apostles and encounters with seals, penguins, dolphins and seals and even a humpback whale. Our highlight was a seal devouring an octopus which was extraordinary. We learnt a lot about the environment and our guide kept a safe and respectful distance between us and the wildlife. - Jane
What a lifetime experience! Paul made this trip truly unique and personal. He shared many interesting facts while guiding us to the right spots to see dolphins, seals, penguins and even whales. I can only recommend booking a trip with this amazing skipper! 10/10 - Thanks a lot - Dominik
