Big 5 Sea Safari Boat Ride of Gansbaai or Walker Bay

Embark on an exhilarating 2-hour Big 5 Sea Safari adventure along the cliffside of De Keldar. This exclusive excursion offers a rare opportunity to witness a diverse array of marine life, including whales, dolphins, seals, penguins, and other captivating bird species.

Departing from the harbor of Gansbaai, our vessel cruises through scenic routes that pass the cliffs of De Kelders and De Platt Beach. The breathtaking coastline features stark contrasts between pristine white beaches and the azure skies above, complemented by emerald-blue waters stretching for miles from Gansbaai to Hermanus. As we navigate towards the heart of the bay, our eyes are drawn to the iconic Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.

Upon arrival at the designated departure point, our experienced skipper prepares us for an unforgettable adventure. Our expert guide, a qualified marine biologist, shares fascinating insights into the diverse array of marine life, including bottlenose dolphins, which are known for their playful antics. Dolphins are particularly amenable to interaction, making photography sessions a photographer's delight. We also have the opportunity to observe Bryde’s whales, skilled predators feeding on a myriad of fish species such as mackerel, crustaceans, and cephalopods.

During our journey, our knowledgeable crew educates us about various marine mammals and birds, providing a wealth of information tailored to each individual traveler. Despite the unpredictability of the sea, every effort is made to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Should unfavorable weather conditions arise at the perilous Danger Point, the Sea Safari team works diligently to reposition our boat to Walker Bay, preserving the integrity of the expedition.

This captivating voyage promises a unique blend of wildlife encounters and educational experiences, making it an ideal destination for both nature enthusiasts and dedicated photographers alike.
