- mekiep00Cape town Western Cape a must visitThe best of the best. If you looking for fun in the sun experience this is a must. Everything that you want to do on a day out is in walking distance from each other. Definitely great for family visits or just site seeing.
- RyanM701500The perfect combination of professionalism and fun!I did my PADI open water through Ocean Experiences and I couldn't recommend them more! Not only did James make us feel completely at ease while teaching us the required skills, but we had an absolute blast the whole 3 days! The perfect combination of professionalism and fun! Carla was also incredibly helpful, accommodating and resourceful with all of the required booking and admin. 5 stars all round :)
- lishyak00Amazing ExperienceI had the best day of 2020 so far! What an amazing experience. If I could hop on a speedboat everyday I would. So much fun, giggles and smiles, and made extra special by our very skilled, experienced and super friendly Captain Daniel who had us spinning doughnuts on the ocean and not a splash of water in the boat. Thank you Daniel for driving us safely and for making the experience super fun and exciting. will definitely be back :)
- EricavdB00Amazing!!!! Do not have words to describe the this experience !Best awesome experience I have had in a long time. Daniel and team was amazing. The views were out of this world. 150% recommended!!!
- Paradise51403600A whole new worldSee the world through a different lens, one of wonder and splendor. My heart rate spkied so many times during the snorkeling, I was enthralled! I definitely recommend this memorable experience.
- abdulrahmanaL9644RO00Best experienceWonderful day with these guys, unforgettable trip. Don’t miss it when you visit Cape Town. And thank to the experience the driver has we see a lot of sea animals.
- dries99500just do it and decide for yourself because my words dont do it justiceWell I came to the V&A waterfront because I needed a laptop and it took quite sometime for the contract to be resolved and at the time I didn't think much of this so I decided to go and explore a bit while a wait for them to wrap things up for me at the Store. So on the way to the restaurants I come across a gentleman who had what I can only say is the most impressive moustache at the waterfront at the IQOS stand which resulted in me buying one haha So as I came outside to the harbour I decided you know what lets book a cruise or something and see how it goes. Thats the true beauty of Cape Town there is so much to do if you are just willing to do it. so get off your ass and support our local boys and girls while the tourists are away because they need you now
- rosethevegan00Fabulous fun.Our hour on the water with Daniel was one of the most fun filled informative ones we’ve had. Super guide!!
- 990rogiers00I did my navigation specialty with this company.This company is really good and trustworthy. They really help u with what u want to do or to learn. I definately recommend this company! Thnx Kevin for the help with the specialty! All the best!
- joshsaydro00Great experience with great staff!Such a great experience with these guys to go seal snorkelling! Chloe our instructor was great and the whole team in-fact was great! Would definitely recommend these guys!
- TaroLombard00Amazing adventureWhat a great experience. I am very excited to start diving as a hobby. One of the best experiences I have had in a very long time. My instructor, Kevin Ford, was absolutely great. He was patient, professional, and made the whole learning experience fun, while keeping to the importance of doing everything properly to become a good and vigilant diver. Recommended
- liamstrachan00A real Ocean Experience with OCEAN X during our stay in Cape Town.Fantastic dive center with a lot to offer for all levels of diving. Visiting Cape Town from Ireland, the minute we stepped foot into the place we were greeted by enthusiastic professionals and dealt with Carla through WhatsApp and email (extremely handy visiting from abroad and very generous on what was on offer). Quick responses and easy payment for our booking of 2 days diving (shore and boat diving) and Sea Safari on a third day for 4 of us. Our pilot for the Sea Safari, Simon, was very friendly and knowledgeable on the species we were observing, knowing how to find them and approach them appropriately. This was a fantastic oppurtunity to view Cape Town from a different perspective on the water, seeing plenty of marine birds and seals aswell as heavy sided dolphins, penguins and sunfish. Certainly a novelty for us. Our dive instructors, Kevin and Enrico, were very accommodating, experienced and a pleasure to dive with. Even though our group having a range of diving experience, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves experiencing new marine species and seascapes which is what it's all about! We were able to do a refresher and dive together as a group! Would highly recommend diving with Ocean X and if diving isn't your thing then definitely the Sea Safari for some water experience visiting Cape Town.
- AndreaAloisiaMay00Refresher Divers CourseI believe credit should be given where credit is due and I have to say that I was taken back by the instructor Kevin Ford! He has the most Patience I have ever seen especially because my refresher course I did today was more like my Padi Open Water Course! I was drilling him with questions the whole ride there, in the water and the whole ride back and he was cheerful, calm and like I said so so patient with two girls forgetting everything they once learnt about diving! He made us feel so so comfortable! If you ever need to do your open water, a refresher or even advanced! I would highly recommend this young gentleman and offcourse Ocean X! Thank You Guys for the wonderful Day!!!!
- SharonEliyahu00Our awesome tourWe did the seal dive and we had a great time with Simon the padi guide and Enrico the diving guide. They were very professional and fun like all the workers at the place! Thank for a great experience! Sharon Kobi and Dor from Israel 😉🇮🇱
- felixerf00Seal Snorkeling in Camps BayTotally recommended! This trip was a gift given by my girlfriend. Alone the boot trip to the seal islands in Camps Bay was incredible. We have seen sunfish, penguins, dolphins and so much many more. Enrico and Dan are amazing guides, doing their very best to ensure an unforgettable tour. Arriving the snorkeling place, we had around 30min with the seals. They are really curious, so it‘s not only a promise you swim with them close by a meter. Also we wanted to say, that there was never an critical situation. Guides take always care about you. So at the end fantastic 2 hours and worth all the money. All the best Juliane & Felix

A group of us did the Ocean Safari with Simon at the helm. The trip was fabulous and we saw most of the marine life we could have seen. We saw seals, dolphins and sun fish, but the highlight was seeing two southern right whales. Simon was an excellent guide and the trip was excellent. This is a great way to spend an hour and a half if you are in Cape Town.

I managed to do the OS today because it was rescheduled due to bad weather. Our guide Kevin was excellent and very informative, we managed to see dolphins, Seals, Sun fish the penguins and whales were shy so we didnt really get to see more than a glimpse. Worth the wait and money

Had a great time on the water. It was a really wavy day, so we didn't end up seeing too much wildlife, but I really did enjoy getting out on the ocean nevertheless. There were only 2 of us, but Ocean X ran the tour anyways, despite having probably made no money off of the excursion. So I was grateful for this. Daniel was a knowledgeable, friendly guide, and I appreciated that he made an effort to keep us entertained, and that he took a detour to show us how fast the boat could go.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thank you for joining us, yes the sea conditions can be very unpredictable in Cape Town. However seeing this stunning City and picturesque Table Mount from the boat is also incredible experience.

This was a great experience! The tour guide Simon was really professional and easy-going! Even though me and my friend didn’t get to see any whales or dolphins we had a wonderful time on the boat. We got to see seals, African penguins and some bird life. Simon said he felt frustrated because on the earlier trip on that day with another group they had seen dolphins, but now the dolphins didn’t show up. He went to places they usually were “hanging around” and tried so hard to find them for us, but nope, they didn’t show up this time. Anyway, I would recommend this trip to anyone, and I could definitely do this trip again. A great experience! Thank you Simon!
