Whale Watching Trips: 01 June to 31 September

Where:
The Great White House, where you will receive a brief introductory talk about the route, safety, and what to look out for. We then take a stroll down to the harbour to board.

Weather:
Due to variable weather conditions the trip may not always be possible and is therefore not guarenteed. Time-related itineraries are dependent on tides, weather conditions and the number of tours scheduled for a particular day.

What to Wear:
Always bring warm clothing as it is cooler at sea than on land
Comfortable shoes/takkies

Things to Bring:
Binoculars, camera, warm clothing

Guests or Spectators:
Please remember to use sunscreen. Please use anti-seasick medication well in advance if you are prone to motion sickness.



A Whale Watching Trip length is between 2 and 2.5 hours, depending on sightings and weather conditions. All cruises depart from Kleinbaai harbour near Gansbaai.

Dyer Island is located 8 km from shore and is an access controlled Important Bird Area (IBA) for the conservation of its many resident bird species, including African penguins.

Adjacent to Dyer Island is Geyser Rock, home to a 60,000 strong Cape fur seal colony. These seals are present all year round. We will take you into the channel of water between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock known as the world famous ‘Shark Alley’.

We will then take you to the whale hotspots in the bay. With over a decade of experience, not only do we know where to expect the best whale viewings, but the whales have also learned where to expect us!
