Itinerary

2 Hour Big 5 Walker Bay Sea Safari On our Big 5 Sea Safari we are targeting Whales, Dolphin, Seals, Penguin and Marine Birds. Trips run 10am & 1pm Weather and Passenger Dependent - Min 8 - Max of 25 passengers! Join the Ivanhoe team for what will undoubtedly be a memorable 2hr Big 5 Sea Safari. Our goal is to target Walker Bay's Big 5, Whale, Dolphin, Seal, Penguin and Marine birds. We depart from the harbor of Gansbaai and cruise along the scenic route passing the cliffs of De Kelders and De Platt Beach. Observe the stunning coast line, contrasting white beach's with the blue skies and chameleon waters that stretch for miles from Gansbaai to Hermanus, we then set course and head out into the middle of the bay in search of our Big 5. On your journey our crew will educate you on all aspects of marine life, with a qualifying marine biologist and a skipper with over 15yrs experience there is a wealth of knowledge for you to tap. No trip is the same and we can never guarantee what you will see, we hope to spot our local Big 5, but there is also so much more marine mammal and bird life on offer.
