Experience one of the Garden Route's most spectacular wildlife encounters as you venture into the waters of Mossel Bay in search of majestic whales, playful dolphins, and thousands of Cape Fur Seals. Unlike many whale-watching destinations, marine life is often found close to the coastline, allowing more time for wildlife viewing and less time travelling. With expert guides, breathtaking ocean scenery, and the opportunity to witness some of South Africa's most iconic marine species in their natural habitat, this unforgettable safari offers a unique and rewarding experience for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike.
Upon arrival, you’ll receive a warm welcome followed by a comprehensive safety briefing, including important guidelines for responsible marine wildlife viewing. Life jackets are provided for all guests before boarding your fully equipped safari vessel.
Mossel Bay, South Africa
Cruise through the sheltered waters of Mossel Bay while searching for Southern Right, Humpback, and Bryde's Whales in their natural habitat. Your experienced skipper and crew will provide informative commentary about the region's marine ecosystem, whale behaviour, migration patterns, and local conservation efforts. Depending on the season, you may also encounter Bottlenose Dolphins, seabirds, and other marine life.
False Bay, South Africa
Spend an extended portion of your marine safari around the famous Seal Island, home to thousands of Cape Fur Seals in their natural ocean habitat. Here, you’ll observe large colonies of seals swimming, resting on the rocks, and interacting in the water, while your guide explains their behaviour and ecological importance within the Mossel Bay marine ecosystem. This area is also a prime wildlife hotspot, offering frequent sightings of Bottlenose Dolphins, seabirds, and occasionally Great White Sharks in the surrounding waters. Because whale activity is often concentrated in the same region, this stop forms the core wildlife viewing zone of the entire safari experience.
This is the perfect opportunity to take in the scenery, capture final photographs, and reflect on an unforgettable whale watching experience.
All guests are required to meet at the designated meeting point located at Mossel Bay Harbour, South Africa, where the activity begins.
