Wildlife & ocean

Marine Big 5 tour

Fly to Gansbaai for a guided boat trip through Shark Alley in search of whales, dolphins, sharks, seals and penguins.

The experience

What to expect

The ocean’s answer to the Big Five: whales, dolphins, sharks, seals and penguins. After a flight over the Hottentots Holland mountains, you board an expertly guided boat at Kleinbaai Harbour.

The boat cruises through Shark Alley, the channel between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock, home to thousands of Cape fur seals, African penguins and seabirds, with shark-cage boats nearby and whales and dolphins in the bay.
