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.
Very glad we booked this tour and we were fortunate to have great weather, a great operator (Paul) and some wonderful sightings. We received lots of good info on the ocean wildlife and saw great sights in the Bay Area. - Bruce
Very friendly and Informative trip. We are def planning on using Ocean Wonder again next time we are in Cape Town . - Mrs
We had a great morning on the Ocean Wildlife tour. Our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable, helpful and had a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend this tour. - Jan
Really enjoyed the trip. Did not get so lucky with the wildlife, but guide was excellent and views from the boat were brilliant. Hope to do it again some time and maybe see a bit more. Would really recommend for a trip - Rob
Very informative trip. Paul was excellent in describing the environment and how the ocean works to enable to see the big 5. We had a very cool and misty morning which hindered potential sightings but Paul greatly extended the trip to maximise the sightings as the mist cleared. Excellent trip and thoroughly recommend. - Tony
