Tour info
- Route: From Central Beach in Plettenberg Bay to Natures Valley, the Tsitsikamma Marine Reserve, Keurbooms Beach and the Robberg Peninsula.
- Type: Round trip

Tour programme
- Departure:
Please arrive at the Ocean Blue Adventures Shop at the time specified on your booking confirmation to be checked in and to receive your life jacket. You will then receive a pre-trip briefing to give you an overview of what to expect and how to stay safe. After that, you'll be ready to board the boat and get ready for the whale watching tour.
- Tour:
Depending on the weather, sea conditions and animal distribution, we determine the route along which we are most likely to spot whales. Most recently, the majority of sightings have taken place along the so-called 'Humpback Highway', a stretch from Robberg Point across to Natures Valley and the Tsitsikamma Marine Reserve. Sometimes we also cruise along Keurbooms Beach where we have had frequent encounters with southern right whales as well as bottlenose and humpback dolphins. Depending on how much time we have left and on the location of the whales, we also attempt to visit the Cape fur seal colony that resides at Robberg Peninsula. If it's the right time of year, you might even be lucky and spot some great white sharks around here.
- Arrival:
At the end of the whale watching tour, we land back on Central Beach where you will depart the boat and hand back your life jacket.
