What is an Ocean Safari?


Think of an Ocean Safari as a game drive at sea. Sure, there are plenty of boats out on the water—just like there are plenty of cars in a game reserve—but most of them are simply driving through, not paying attention to what’s really happening. An Ocean Safari with Animal Ocean is different. We take guests on a private, focused journey into the natural world of Cape Town’s ocean, where observation and immersion come first.


It’s not just a snorkel trip. It’s not just a boat ride. It’s a curated experience that sets the tone and mindset of the group. You’ll be guided to see, smell, touch, and feel the marine environment, connecting with nature on its own terms. Just as a game drive reveals the hidden world of animals on land, our Ocean Safari reveals the secret lives of the sea. The boat becomes your safari vehicle, the kelp forests your savanna, the seals and dolphins your roaming herds.



We pay attention to the smallest signs: the flick of a gull’s wing that might reveal a feeding Fur seal below, the shimmer on the surface that signals a sunfish basking, the misty spray of a humpback whale in the distance. We listen to the calls of Cape fur seals, watch the movements of the resident Elephant seal hauled out on the rocks, and search for clear waters where we can leave the boat to snorkel in the kelp forest—slipping beneath the surface to float among towering fronds while spotting Dark catsharks, Red rock-crabs, One-finnned electric ray, West coast rock-lobster, Spiney starfish, and Cape urchins.



On our trips, we take you even further—to places no one else can reach except by boat. Hidden shipwrecks, wave-battered cliffs, and isolated stretches of coastline become part of your safari, offering perspectives and encounters that most visitors to Cape Town will never experience.


No one else in Cape Town runs trips this way. We’ve designed them to match the best safari experiences on land: private, immersive, and unforgettable. This is a one-of-a-kind, one-of-one adventure that you need to experience to understand.


Perfect for photographers, nature lovers, ocean enthusiasts, and first-time explorers alike—an Ocean Safari is your chance to connect deeply with Cape Town’s natural world.

Join us. Discover the ocean as you’ve never seen it before.

789club tài xỉu mình mới ghé thử cho biết thôi, tại thấy mấy đứa bạn nói nhiều quá nên tò mò. Vào cái là thấy giao diện làm khá sạch sẽ, nhìn hiện đại mà không bị lòe loẹt, chữ cũng dễ đọc nên lướt nhanh không mỏi mắt. Mình hay dùng điện thoại nên để ý mấy nút bấm với menu, thấy chuyển mục khá mượt, không phải phóng to thu nhỏ gì cả. Có xem qua phần nạp rút thì họ trình bày quy trình rõ ràng, với lại có chỗ lưu lịch sử giao dịch để tự kiểm tra nên cảm giác đỡ lo hơn. Nói chung cách họ chia khối nội dung và nhóm danh mục…
