Overview

Ocean Wonder is an owner run service that offers boat based Ocean Wildlife Encounters. These intimate trips don't follow any set route. Instead, I'm guided by my understanding and ongoing observation of this environment, the creatures in it, and the ever changing water and weather conditions.

These trips are all about finding and, where possible and legal, interacting with some of the amazing creatures that frequent the rich waters around Cape Town.

What's Included

  • 2 Hour Ocean Wildlife Encounter, on an exhilarating boat, with professional guide and Skipper
  • Tea and coffee Coffee and/or Tea
