Route of Bays | Whale & Dolphin Watching

The Experience

 

This tour takes our guests on a scenic tour of False Bay by sea. Highlights include Seal Island, Kalk Bay, Cape Point and the Whales we may encounter along the way. The tour starts and an end in Gordon’s Bay and is done aboard a luxury deep sea fishing cruiser with bathroom facilities. We drag lures during the tour and if we are lucky we snare a fish or two. Lots of excitement!
