Enriched a lot today, thank you - Getting close to the animals while staying far enough away not to disturb them, respecting their lives and nature, is something that is very close to us. We didn't chase a single animal; when we got close, Paul turned off the engine, and we glided on the water. Paul told us a lot about the behavior of the animals, and I became enriched with a lot of information. Thank you.

Exhilarating and educational - As good as everyone says it is. Exhilarating ride in a boat nimble enough to change tack quickly and go where birds, fish, dolphins, penguins and whales are that day. Open rib means lots of sky and sight lines, smaller size means no jostling for view of dolphins swimming alongside. But it’s Paul’s expert knowledge and love of ocean life that lifts it above. He can read the sea and will teach you how to see it, too. Plus appreciated that after tour he helped me sort out my Uber pick up, reassuring for a solo traveller.

BEST EXPERIENCE IN CAPETOWN - One thing I have to say — you HAVE to book this trip! It was our best experience in Cape Town, and we will definitely come back next time we're here. Paul, our guide, was so dedicated and shared so much fascinating information about marine life. We saw so many different sea creatures — it was simply MAGIC. Thank you a thousand times to Paul, who made this experience unforgettable and gave us the chance to see dolphins, penguins, and seals closer than we ever imagined. See you soon!!!

Unforgettable Ocean Safari Adventure! - Our Ocean Safari was an absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, Paul made the trip incredibly engaging for everyone on board. His knowledge of the ocean and ability to read the environment added so much depth to the journey. We were lucky to witness an abundance of wildlife, including dolphins, seals, penguins, a fascinating sunfish, and even a large group of whales! This safari was truly unforgettable and exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend!

Ocean safari fun - Wrap up warm as skipper Paul says, prepare for a dry, blowy and at times bouncy ride to see seals, dolphins, penguins and a sunfish. Sadly the whales were hiding from us. This was a lot of fun.

Highly recommend the Ocean Wildlife Encounter! - We had a wonderful time on the Ocean Wildlife Encounter. Our guide truly loves his work, and spread his enthusiasm to us! He made sure that we had a great experience, and saw as much life on the water, as possible. This was a wonderful excursion. Be prepared to get a bit wet (it's all part of the fun!)

Great Adventure to see the coast and wildlife. - We planned a few extra days in Cape Town as there is so much to do. This "on the sea" adventure seemed like a good day trip. It was! Great captain, knowledgeable, comfortable travel, lots to see.

Great trip on the sea with unique memories - The tour was perfect all round! Among other things, we were lucky enough to see many dolphins and seals up close and observe them in their natural habitat. In addition, the view of Cape Town, Table Mountain, Lionshead and also robben island was simply unique. Also exciting knowledge about the inhabitants and the change of the sea has brought us closer to Fran, our guide, with joy and enthusiasm. All around the tour is really highly recommended and definitely a must to do if you are here in Cape Town!
