WHALE WHATCHING SAFARI
As Captain Jacks Ocean Safaris Hout Bay is the only licensed Whale and Dolphin operator in Hout Bay, it means that as soon as there’s a sighting of these amazing creatures, we can get you out to view them with one of our knowledgeable and informative skippers and guides.
Dolphins regularly visit Hout Bay to feed and play. We typically see three species of dolphin – Heavyside’s Dolphin, Dusky Dolphin and Long-Beaked Common Dolphin. We are lucky to see whales all year round, most prolifically in the summer months between November and April. During this time we can often see supergroups of Humpback Whales feeding in our waters. Between February and May, we see Southern Right Whales passing through. Bryde’s Whales are seen all year round, typically feeding in the bait balls.
It truly is an amazing experience and one you’ll never forget.
