OUR TRIP CONSISTS OF THE FOLlOWiNG:

We start our trip from the Kleinbaai Harbour (east of Danger Point). From there we move towards the Pearly Beach area where we find our highest concentration of Southern right whales (Jul to mid-Dec). The Southern right whales come to our calm bays every year from July to December to either,

calve and nurse their young or to mate. After spending the allowed time with these magnificent creatures we move towards Dyer Island where we view the African penguins as well as various other seabirds. Behind Dyer Island we visit Geyser Rock, which is resident to about 60 000 Cape fur seals. Between these two Islands we find ourselves in Shark

Alley. Shark Alley is world famous for its Great White sharks, which makes this probably the only trip in the world where you have a chance of seeing a Southern right whale as well as an 80 % chance of seeing a Great White shark. After this exhilarating 2 and a half hour trip we return to the Kleinbaai harbour to enjoy some refreshments at The

Great White House.
