Join Animal Ocean Ocean Safaris in Cape Town to explore one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems. Our trips reveal Cape fur seals at Duiker Island, playful Heaviside’s dolphins, seasonal humpback and southern right whales, ocean sunfish, and shysharks in the kelp forest. With regular seabird sightings and rare encounters with orca, turtles, and even basking sharks, every safari offers a unique adventure. Respectful, legal, and unforgettable wildlife encounters await.
