Ocean Wonder is an owner-run service that offers boat-based Ocean Wildlife Encounters. These intimate trips don’t follow any set route. Instead, I’m guided by my understanding and ongoing observation of this environment, the creatures in it, and the ever-changing water and weather conditions.
These trips are all about finding and, where possible, interacting with some of the amazing creatures that frequent the rich waters around Cape Town.
Close encounters of the amazing kind

Expert Guided trips
There’s no set route. We’ll go where we can to find our oceanic friends. Normally it’s in the Table Bay area. I’m guided by local knowledge of the weather, the ocean and the patterns and movements of creatures in it.
Incredible environment
Besides the amazing animals that we encounter, it’s a really fun boat ride in an incredibly beautiful environment. The views of Table Mountain and Robben Island are amazing too.
The boat – Ocean Wonder
Ocean Wonder is a 7.2m Ballistic semi-rigid inflatable (SRI), powered by 2 × 90hp Yamaha motors. She’s very safe and has been approved by The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) as a commercial charter boat, allowed to carry up to 11 passengers. She’s furnished with all the required safety equipment and more.
Physical requirements
Pregnant women and people with back injuries that might be aggravated by the boat should be aware that it can be a bumpy ride.
Very professional. We all had a good time with Paul. Thist tour is highly recommended. Next time in CT, certainly again. Thanks Paul. - Mario
Fantastic morning on the ocean. The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It is a great way to see the shoreline of beautiful Cape Town plus get a chance to see the local marine life. We saw a humpback whale, baby seals sunning themselves in the water, jellyfish and Jackass penguins. We had a great time and recommend to anyone who is thinking about doing this tour. - KImberly
What a great tour. The power boat ride was exhilarating and we saw tons of cool stuff: whales, dolphins, penguins, and a sunfish. It was a blast. - Greg
A truly wonderful private experience. Paul is very knowledgeable and affectionate about the marine wildlife in Cape Town and we were very very lucky to spot some seals, penguins, tons of sea birds, jellyfish and pods of playful dolphins. - Eva
