Waterfront Charters Ocean Safaris are eco-adventures aboard our stunning RIBs – an amazing way to get up close and personal to the wildlife that inhabits the Atlantic as you cruise the coastline under the guidance of our experienced and knowledgeable skippers.
Our Adventure Boats offer the perfect platform to share with you the beauty of the ocean as well as getting to see the plethora of creatures that inhabit the Cape Town Atlantic coastline. On these fun Ocean Safari cruises, you will have a chance to potentially see a wide variety of creatures: from Cape fur seals to dolphins; whales (no more than 300 Metres), penguins and sunfish; a variety of seabirds and possibly even orcas. Obviously, we can’t guarantee sightings, but we will comb Table Bay at a leisurely to make sure that we give you the best opportunity to see your favourite sea creatures and maybe meet some new ones. Whatever happens, you are certain of a great Atlantic experience.
Start your activity by checking in at our booking office to collect your boarding pass at Shop 5, Quay 5, V&A Waterfront.
