    Absolutely terrible. Sea was very rough and we should never have been taken out. Went out about 20m off shore. Saw 2 seals on a bouy then had to go back. One of the engines flooded so we had to chug back slowly. Organiser refused to refund us.

    Took the ocean safari cruise with Waterfront Charters but encountered safety issue of one motor on the boat overheating. We were left drifting around the bay with large swells over half an hour with one operating motor. We did not see any ocean animals due to this issue. The kicker was no offer of refund or rescheduled session with the operator. We are still awaiting a response from Waterfront Charters senior management. Buyer beware!

    We had an amazing time, so much so we went again, I can recommend this enough. We had a lovely time and got lucky enough to see seals, dolphins and on our second round, we managed to brave the chappy water with a skill guide to find the beautiful whale.

    I’ve already done this twice and I plan to go again while in Cape Town!! It’s a perfect, quick activity and SOO much fun!! Both times we saw seals, penguins, lots of jelly fish, and dolphins!! One time I got really lucky and even saw some whales!! It’s so incredible to see wildlife in their natural environment and never know exactly what you’re going to see!! And the team at waterfront charters does an excellent job!!

    An incredible sea excursion! Thrilling sensations of speed with this ultra-fast and responsive boat. Crazy jumps, not for the faint-hearted ;-) An experienced captain, highly available, and always on the lookout to make your safari unforgettable. And it was! We found ourselves at an exceptional moment: hundreds of dolphins jumping around us, accompanying a whale playing with dozens of seals!
