Customer Reviews

A great trip with friendly crew who did a fantastic job of tracking down three whales despite the swell making seeing anything more difficult and the fact that other boats had no luck. It was amazing to see the whales (and hear them!). The sea conditions were a bit rough once outside the bay so if you're prone to sea sickness take some medication! - Henry


We saw dolphins, seals and whales , learnt an enormous amount about them informed by our engaging guide and felt safe in the knowledge that the animals ( and our!) welfare was foremost in the company's thoughts . - Miranda


It was such a beautiful trip! We got to follow three pairs of whales, and one of them swam right next to our boat for quite a while -- it was absolutely thrilling. After that, we also saw a huge colony of seals. Thanks to the great organization, it turned out to be an amazing day, topped off by the thrill of landing straight on the beach at the end. - Silvia


We had a fantastic trip with Ocean safaris, the guide was knowledgable and we were lucky enough to see whales breaching and hundreds of dolphins and fur seals. Excellent value for money. - James


What an awesome and amazing experience. It was fantastic and thank you the the entire Oceans Safaris team who made it possible. We saw quite a few whales, dolphins galore, and seals. An amazing experience to connect with nature. - Bajhanudean
