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.
An absolutely incredible experience! We were fortunate enough to spot seals, dolphins and whales on their migratory route whilst out on our morning trip! Both Paul and Rob are extremely knowledgeable and filled with fun facts of the ocean which ensured the entire trip felt like an adventure! Thank you, we will definitely be back! - Vuk
Always an amazing time with Paul and Ocean wonder. I have done countless trips with them over the past few years. Everyone I invite is in awe of the experience and thoroughly enjoys Paul's passion for nature and especially seals. I'm sure I will be doing more exploration with them in the years to come. - Solara
Unforgettable experience. Paul was very kind and explained everything. It was unbelievable to see all these wales at no distance. the peace and quiet of the ocean and hearing and seeing these big and beautiful creatures was just mind blowing. - Renee
We had an amazing trip - exhilarating and fun and Paul is really informative. As things were a bit choppy and quiet on the wildlife front as we went out, Paul changed the route and we saw penguins, lots of seals, had dolphins come alongside the boat and the highlight was a breaching whale! We also had several Ibis fly overhead and with the sun shining through their wings they looked amazing. Great views of Robbin Island and Table Mountain and as we finished the trip, a white knuckle whizz around the bay especially for Edith! Thank you Paul - we had a fabulous time. - Kerry
Fantastic experience - the guides (sorry can't remember names!) were very friendly, knew so much about local wildlife, and made us feel reassured and looked after should we experience sea sickness. One of the best things we did in Cape Town - memories for a lifetime! - Joanna
