Ocean Wildlife Encounter

Cape Town

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

We had an amazing morning on the boat with Paul, his passion and knowledge were evident and we enjoyed the experience all the more because of it. The hours flew by with sightings of seals, dolphins, penguins, numerous birds and some shy whales too. A magical experience and highly recommended. - Cressida


In one word: amazing! - Bart


We've done several boat tips with Paul and it's always a great experience. This time we probably saw one of the first whales of the season and ton's dolphins directly next to the boat. A must do experience when you are in Cape Town - Fritz


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
