More information on Waterfront Adventures

Fully qualified whale guides will take you on a boat trip to spot some of the oceans most graceful and majestic creatures. Watch them in their natural environment off the South African coastline. They begin arriving around May and June each year and hang around in pairs and families along the Cape coastline's bays and inlets. They then leave the South African shores for the feeding grounds of the south in December. These beautiful creatures are gentle and curious and make for spectacular viewing from the comfortable boats that you will be taken out in. This is an experience not to be missed if you are in Cape Town during the second half of the year.
