Common questions

What time will I be picked up?  When you book a trip with us, the evening before your tour we will contact you or your accommodation to confirm the time of your tour. Trip times vary with weather and tide conditions. We will provide you with an emergency number in case you do not get your pick up time.

Where do we get pick up from? Any hotel or address in the Cape Town central area, please check with your agent if you are not sure.

What happens if the tour gets cancelled because of bad weather?  Whale watching is very weather dependent, if we have to cancel the tour the day before we will try to re-schedule you on another day or if not possible refund you less 10% administrative charges.

What are my chances of seeing whales? August to November is peak season for Whales, with good weather chances are 95%-99% in this time frame. The boat helps us to cover a large area. Every trip is preceded by a brief introductory talk about previous sightings in the area.

What should I bring? Always bring warm clothing as it is cooler at sea than on land. Waterproof/windproof jackets are available on the boat. We will provide inflatable life jackets. Please remember to use sunscreen. Please use anti-seasick medication well in advance if you are prone to motion sickness

Pro Tip - Always book your whale tour for an earlier date in your holiday program so that you have spare days to re-schedule in case the weather does not agree.
