Whale Watching

Come cruise with us on a wondrous ocean safari.

As Ocean Safaris, Hout Bay is the only licensed Whale and Dolphin operator in Hout Bay, it means that as soon as there’s a sighting of these amazing creatures, we can get you out to view them with one of our knowledgeable and informative Skippers and guide. Dolphins regularly visit Hout Bay to feed and play. Between June and November of each year, the Southern Right Whale passes through our waters, journeying from the Cold Antarctica to calve in the warm waters around Cape Town. The Humpback Whale also passes through, en-route to breed and calve in Mozambique and Madagascar and occasionally Bryde Whales make an appearance too .It truly is an amazing experience and one you’ll never forget.
