Top Port Elizabeth On the Water

South Africa may be known for its fantastic surfing, but there’s plenty of action to be had on the dunes as well. Meet your guide who will outfit you with equipment and teach you the basics of sandboarding (think snowboarding, but on sand dunes). No experience is necessary and if you’re lucky, you can see whales and dolphins swimming in the bay.

Get up close to the spectacular marine wildlife in the pristine waters of Algoa Bay with this slow-paced sustainable cruise that only runs once a day. Enjoy more time with your guide and skipper to spot humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, and endangered African penguins on St. Croix Island, learning about these animals and their conservation along the way. Smaller groups ensure plenty of time to ask questions and snap photos.

Enjoy a relaxing river cruise along the majestic Sundays River passing the Alexandria Coastal Dune field and many local birdlife feeding in their natural habitat. The cruise also includes a stop at one of the highest sand dunes, and if you climb to the top, you will be treated to spectacular views of the bay. Our 2,5-hour tours are perfect for small or larger groups; from families, friends and bird watchers to birthday parties, bachelor/ bachelorette parties and year-end functions. Snack platters can be arranged on request and guests are welcome to bring along their own drinks.

This is a fantastic introductory session for first-time surfers. Save time trying to get tips from online videos, and learn from a professional instructor instead. The approach is fun and friendly, and there’s no need to worry about the group being overcrowded, as the session is limited to a maximum of 10 people, to ensure a more intimate atmosphere.

Instead of admiring the beauty of Jeffreys Bay from the beach, get out in the water and enjoy a private kayaking session. After collecting your gear and learning basic kayaking skills, paddle up the lagoon to see spectacular views of the ocean and coastline that you’d miss if you’d stayed on land. Along the way, you can also look out for local wildlife, such as the flamingo colony.
