Whale watching boat cruise from Cape Town

Embark on a memorable hydrofoil boat tour through the lively waters of Table Bay, Cape Town.

You'll have the chance to witness the awe-inspiring marine life that flourishes in this abundant ecosystem. From December to April, the bay becomes an ideal spot for sighting southern right whales and humpback whales. This provides nature enthusiasts and photographers with a rare opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural environment. But the spectacle doesn’t end there—Bryde’s whales, playful dolphins, curious Cape fur seals, African penguins, and even the elusive sunfish may also make an appearance. This creates a dynamic and diverse wildlife experience.

Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, an adventurous family, or a photographer in pursuit of the ultimate shot, this tour guarantees a front-row seat to the wonders of the ocean.
