Important Booking Information

Firstly, please note that the Conservation Fee is compulsory for all guests. Therefore, you must select the add-on during booking and include all adults, children, and infants. Otherwise, your booking will not be processed successfully.

Furthermore, children are classified as 11 years and younger. However, children under 5 years travel free of charge. In addition, an optional Infant Seat (0–4 years) can be selected at no cost, but it must still be added during checkout.

Weather, Timing & Operations

Because all tours depend on weather and tidal conditions, launch times may change. As a result, your exact meeting or pick-up time will only be confirmed the day before your trip.

Additionally, guests should remain flexible, as schedules may shift based on sea conditions and wildlife movement. Nevertheless, our team always prioritises safety and optimal viewing conditions.

Fleet, Safety & Comfort

Our fleet includes two custom-designed vessels built for comfort and stability. For example, the Dream Catcher (14m catamaran) accommodates up to 50 passengers, while the Whale Whisperer (4m semi-rigid inflatable) carries up to 24 guests.

Moreover, both vessels include onboard toilets, safety equipment, communication systems, and photography platforms. In addition, all boats undergo strict annual inspections by the South African Maritime Safety Authority.

Therefore, guests can enjoy peace of mind knowing that safety standards remain our top priority at all times.
