Overview

On this ocean safari, enjoy an eco-friendly way to explore Cape Town’s coastline on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB). Much quicker than a traditional sightseeing cruise, enjoy the thrill of a fast ride to begin with, then slow down to look for local marine life such as African penguins, dolphins, seals, sharks, and sunfish.

Ocean safari not

tony_m, Sep 2024

The description was vague. All we did was take a super fast zodiac boat ride in choppy waters. It should say if you have back issues this may not be for you.

Terrible. Avoid.

Sarah_B, Jul 2024

Absolutely terrible. Sea was very rough and we should never have been taken out. Went out about 20m off shore. Saw 2 seals on a bouy then had to go back. One of the engines flooded so we had to chug back slowly. Organiser refused to refund us.

Amazing time

Vicky_N, Jun 2024

We had an amazing time, so much so we went again, I can recommend this enough. We had a lovely time and got lucky enough to see seals, dolphins and on our second round, we managed to brave the chappy water with a skill guide to find the beautiful whale.

I ended up with a group...

Luigi_N, Sep 2023

I ended up with a group of 3 other people, which was an intimate size I appreciated. We saw dolphins and seals, and it was an adrenaline-filled experience. Highly recommend!
