Whale and dolphin watching. Durban

"Come and join us for a captivating experience, observing dolphins playfully frolic in the waves and, if you're lucky, witness the majestic whales during their migration to the warmer waters of Mozambique from May to November. Our priority is to maintain a respectful distance from the marine animals, ensuring we do not disturb their natural activities. On our 11-passenger vessel, the "BAFANA" Semi-Ridged Rubber Inflatable Boat, you'll have an exhilarating front-facing view, while our skilled skipper and crew guide the boat from the back. Rest assured, our boat has been officially registered with SAMSA as a safe and suitable vessel for Whale and Dolphin Watching since 2012, and we have witnessed numerous cetacean encounters.

Families with children under twelve years old are welcome, but parents are responsible for their children during the excursion. We assure you that our cruises are safe for all ages, and toddlers are especially thrilled to venture out onto the open ocean.

For the whale and dolphin watching sea cruises, we offer one-hour tours at 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm, priced at R170 per adult and R120 per child. These cruises require a minimum of 25 adults and accommodate a maximum of 47 passengers during the out-of-season weekends.

Alternatively, we have 30-minute harbor cruises starting at 10:00 am and running hourly until 4:00 pm. The prices for these cruises are R100 per adult and R70 per child. The African Princess boat can host a maximum of 11 passengers, and the Umlingo boat can accommodate up to 12 passengers.

To ensure fairness, all public cruises operate on a first-come, first-served basis. You can visit our office, book your spot, and board the first available cruise.

If you're planning a group outing with 30 or more people, we offer special group rates: R50 per person for a half-hour cruise or R120 per person for a one-hour cruise.

For a more personalized experience, we also provide private charters on our boat "Da Boss," with a minimum duration of 2 hours and capacity for up to 47 people. The private charter rate is R3000 per hour. Please inquire about our special offers.
