Private Marine Big 5 Ocean Safari

2 hours

Departing from the V&A Waterfront, your skipper will cruise through Table Bay and along Cape Town's Atlantic coastline in search of the Marine Big 5.

As marine wildlife moves freely through the ocean, there is no fixed route. Your experienced skipper and marine guides continuously monitor wildlife activity and will adapt the route throughout the cruise to maximise your chances of encountering whales, dolphins, seals, penguins, sunfish and other fascinating marine species.

Every safari is unique, making each trip a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
