  • Discover False Bay, the Serengeti of the Seas, and its many marine species
  • Enjoy a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience

Description

The departure point, Simon’s Town, is only 45 minutes from the city center, 15 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope, and only 2 minutes from Boulders Beach Penguin Colony. The trip duration is +- 3 hours and we have two to three departures per day. As we adopt an eco-system style of operating our trips, going to sea with Apex is like going on a safari game drive and we will try to take in as much marine wildlife as possible on our trips. As trips are based on natural events every trip is different and sightings are not guaranteed. If the weather allows, you will also have close views of the 65 000 strong Cape fur seal colony on Seal Island (this is the largest island-based seal colony in Africa) as well as various sea birds (Cape cormorant, bank cormorant, African penguins & black-backed kelp gull). The cage is fixed to the boat just above the surface of the water. The trip is weather and tide dependent therefore time slots are not confirmed times. Please ensure that you have the entire day available as times can only be confirmed the day before and are non-negotiable.
