Ocean Safari

The highly knowledgeable Cape Town Cruises team is only too keen to share the beauty of the ocean as well as the magnificence of the Cape Town Atlantic Coastline during the unique Marine Big 5 Ocean Safari. Cruise in style on a luxury catamaran and view the Mother City from a different perspective, as we make our way along the Atlantic Coastline.

You could possibly have an opportunity to spot the marine big five - playful dolphins, Cape fur seals, whales, penguins, and ocean sunfish - and learn more about Cape Town’s exquisite marine ecosystem with the help of our trained guide and experienced crew.

With any wildlife spotting experience, we cannot guarantee sightings of the marine animals as this depends on the weather and can be seasonal. Bookings: Minimum 1 guests
