Paul was amazing. Me and my sister went out to ocean bit skeptical but Paul made it excellent experience.

Determined to find Marine Life

Michael_L, Mar 2020

Great time with Paul, he made sure our experience was something to remember. He was DETERMINED to find the marine animals and of course he knew exactly where to look because we found them (Right Whales, Humpbacks, Seals, Dolphins, Sunfish, Penguins! Overall great experience!

Great Excursion

Kurt I, Sept 2019

Great boat and very worthwhile way to spend a couple hours. Paul was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and knew where to find all the marine life. Can’t believe the concentration of species we saw in just a couple hours: whales, dolphins, sunfish, penguins, jellyfish, and seabirds. And all with great views of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles from the ocean. Highly recommended!
