The Whale trip departs at 2:00pm from either Simon’s Town or Hout Bay and the duration is 2 ½ hours. If the whale trip is confirmed for Hout Bay, we will transfer at +- 1:00pm.

Shark dive trip
Experience a bucket list trip focused on seeing the mighty, large predators of the area. The bronze whaler shark is sure to impress you with its sheer size and grace as it slowly swims past the shark cage. 7gill sharks are also known to visit the boat on occasion. You may also witness other marine life such as common dolphins, whales and an array of sea birds. Should the weather permit, you will experience Africa’s largest island-based seal colony, Seal Island with over 65 000 Cape fur seals.

Whale Trip

With at least 37 different species of dolphins and whales calling these waters home, you are sure to enjoy a variety of different marine species! The whale watching trip gives you an opportunity to marvel at the size and grace of these beautiful mammals.
