BRIEF ITINERARIES OF TOURS:

Marine Encounter Tours

Our ECOLOGICAL ADVENTURE leaves from Central Beach with an exciting beach launch and heads east past the bird sanctuary and Keurbooms beach to Arch Rock. Here we usually encounter Bottlenose and the rare Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins as well as some shark species. From Arch Rock we head out into the middle of the Bay where pelagic seabirds are normally to be found some 7km from the shore. Out there our resident Bryde’s whales may be seen, as well as Common Dolphins or Southern Right and Humpback whales during their season. We then traverse the Bay to the point of Robberg Peninsula and out to the WILD side, often seeing groups of Whales and pods of Dolphins. Cruising back along the inside of Robberg, we see the unique geology from this unusual viewpoint and can observe our growing Cape Fur Seal Colony. Finally we head back along the Robberg beach, while a brief rundown on the history of the area is given. After passing the Beacon Island Hotel, built on the site of an original Whaling Station, we end the experience with an exhilarating landing, again on Central Beach.

Close Encounter

Ocean Blue is a licenced SABBWWA permit holder, which enables us to approach whales from 50 metres instead of 300 metres. Should the whales approach our vessel we do not have to move away! The guests therefore get an up close experience with these majestic mammals in the bay.

N.B. ALL TOURS AND ENCOUNTERS WITH MARINE MAMMALS ARE CONDUCTED STRICTLY ACCORDING TO CURRENT REGULATIONS AND CONSERVATION GUIDELINES

Sea Kayaking

Kayak with an experienced guide from Central Beach to Robberg Nature Reserve. This is amazing experience and often you kayak with dolphin’s right next to you.

In whale season you will encounter these majestic mammals on you tour. Private tours available.ll equipment is provided and beginners are welcome.

Qolweni township: The safest township in South Africa

Ocean adventures understand that community development and upliftment is a very important aspect of implementing our ideas. That being, realistic and holistic Marine and marine Mammal Conservation. Therefore we chose to work together with the most disadvantaged sector of our community through the formation of the Qolweni Community Development trust.

The funds raised through township tours and a percentage of Ocean Blue Adventures turnover get utilized to pay annual school fees for disadvantaged children of the Qolweni community. You would be able to experience their developing crèche to allow the local children the education opportunities they deserve and single mother the freedom to seek employment.
