After safety talk and rather shocking launch we were off into the bay at speed! After not too long dolphins were found and we spent a long time travelling in their midst - wonderful. Our captain and guidewere both great ensuring we had best opportunity to stay with the dolphins and also kept us informed about their habits etc. Not... More

Joint this excursion for 650 Rands per person in October 2011. After paying the price you walk to the beach and climb on board of a speedboat and takeoff to the open sea for a two hours whale encounter...DON'T think so, our boat had a problem with the engine and we floated adrift for 40 minutes at sea before the...

I have done whale watching all around the world and Ocean Blue is one of the best companies I've ever dealt with. They're so good, I chose to go with them a second time. The boats are comfortable and provide great vantage points for photography. Naturalists really know and care about the animals. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Most importantly,... More

Having viewed whales in both Alaska and in Canada we saw this as the best opportunity to see Southern Right whales in South Africa, and we were not disappointed. The first four whales that we sighted we were unable to get close too as they all had calves and the skipper moved away immediately, it was pleasing to see the... More

My husband and I were staying at Pezula Resort outside of Knysna. I contacted them in advance to arrange for a private whale watching tour for my husband and I. I wanted it to be a special experience since my husband has never been whale watching and we were back in his homeland country of South Africa for a few... More

I went on this trip in 2006 and ended up with some very good video - I am a professional but they didn't know that and I was using a cheap camera. After the Surf Launch we headed towards Robben Island and came across a whale who came towards us and stopped at about 50 feet. As we moved past... More

With a group of 21 Dutch tourists we made a tour through South Africa with Thompsons Holidays from 24 July till 9 August 2009. We had a great holiday! What a wonderful country. Everywhere we came we received a warm welcome and got a very good impression of South Africa but……….. On Sunday 2 August 2009 our Thompsons guide booked... More
