Comments:
Should sea conditions be unpleasant tours for land based whale watching can be arranged where whales may be seen from 50m or closer. Other tours on request.
Cape Fur Seal breeding colony of Dyer Island mainly out of season. Light house tours to Cape Agulhas most Southern point of Africa. Dont bother to bring binoculars. If you need them to see the whales from my boat then I have not done my job.

From Our Guestbook:

What great memories. I've been operating Safaris for 12 years and haven't had many experiences as wonderful as being nose-to-nose with those wonderful animals.

Thankyou for the wonderful experience. We will never forget it."".
