As Ocean Safaris, Hout Bay is the only licensed Whale and Dolphin operator in Hout Bay, which means that as soon as there’s a sighting of these amazing creatures, their team can get you out to view them with one of their knowledgeable and informative Skippers and guide.

Dolphins regularly visit Hout Bay to feed and play. Between June and November of each year, the Southern Right Whale passes through our waters, journeying from Cold Antarctica to calve in the warm waters around Cape Town.

The Humpback Whale also passes through, en route to breed and calve in Mozambique and Madagascar and occasionally Bryde Whales make an appearance too.

It truly is an amazing experience and one you’ll never forget.

Join a thrilling boat cruise to Duiker Island to see thousands of Cape fur seals in their natural environment. Along the way, take in some of the most spectacular scenery the Cape Peninsula has to offer as you cruise along the rugged coastline from Hout Bay harbour. Expect breath-taking views of the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive and Sentinel Mountain, in addition to the chance to see other marine life including dolphins and whales. Opt to continue the adventure and take the one-hour Seals & Shipwreck Tour, where the boat will travel further along with the Karbonkelberg Mountain range to Maori Bay to the viewing point of the ‘Shipwreck of the Bos 400’, which ran aground in 1994 during one of the famous Cape winter storms.
