Description

Discover Cape Town’s Marine Magic on a 1-Hour Ocean Safari Set off on a scenic 1-hour ocean safari from Cape Town’s iconic V&A Waterfront, where the city skyline and majestic Table Mountain meet the open Atlantic Ocean. This unforgettable marine adventure invites you to explore the wild side of the Cape—one of the most biodiverse ocean regions in the world. Hop aboard our purpose-built safari boat, designed for both comfort and speed, as we journey into the rich coastal waters just beyond the harbour walls. With the wind in your hair and the mountain at your back, you’ll head out in search of the incredible marine life that calls this coastline home. Keep your eyes peeled for playful pods of dolphins surfing the wake, Cape fur seals basking near the rocks, and the ever-charming African penguins bobbing in the swells. Depending on the season, you may be lucky enough to encounter migrating southern right or humpback whales, breaching or fluking gracefully in the distance. Other sightings may include sunfish (Mola mola), various seabirds, and even the occasional shy shark or jellyfish drifting by. Your onboard guide is a passionate marine enthusiast who will share fascinating insights about the local wildlife, ocean ecology, and Cape Town’s maritime history. Every trip is unique, offering a fresh perspective and a chance to connect with nature from the water.
