Walker Bay Whale Watching

Experience a two hour Whale watching trip in Walker Bay, South Africa's Bay of the Whales. During this boat excursion you will often see whales, seals, sunfish, various seabird species as well as the possibility of the Great White Shark and some dolphins.

This unique whale watching experience is brought to you by Western Cape holiday adventure company Africa Shark Dive Safaris, which specialises in shark breaching and Great White Shark cage diving in South Africa, as well as a wide selection of unforgettable tours and safari experiences.

Whale watching is available seasonally, from July to December every year.

SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALES (Ebalaena Australis)

Thousands of Southern right whales migrate from the colder Antarctic to the warmer, sheltered waters of the South African shores. Watching these gentle creatures sunning themselves or breaching is something not too be missed. Southern Right Whales can usually be seen from the shore, but seeing them right next to the boat is a more exciting experience. Boat based whale watching trips operate from Gansbaai harbour. All trips are led by whale guides.
