“Very professional company from start to finish. Really good communication, very accommodating of all needs. The information on sharks is really valuable, The driver Anwar for the transport is really lovely too. Would highly recommend”
Whale watching from Gansbaai to the De Keldar cliffs for Southern right whales, plus dolphins, sharks, and penguins on a 2-hour cruise.
“We chose Ivanhoe as the boats are not too big, making it a more personal experience. We soon found the majestic Southern Right Whales, several Mums with Calf’s . They swam right along side the boat, so relaxed . Very emotional experience. The tour is only two hours long , we could all have stayed out longer . Try to choose a calm day, as spotting the whales is so much easier.”
