Definitely the best marine trip organisation. The only one with such an scientific, ecological and active role to support all species. Everything perfectly organised to a point exceeding all expectations.
Dear Mariana, Thank you for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. Knowing that you appreciated both your trip and our conservation efforts means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Gansbaai again soon for another memorable adventure. Warm regards, The Marine Dynamics Team
Pay attention to whale season. If it isn’t whale season you aren’t going to see whales. It’s a 2.5 hour bus ride from Cape Town one way. The water has an average tide of 2.3 meters so if your easily sea sick this isn’t for you. Staff was nice, if it were what season this would be totally worth it. But I didn’t see the value if it isn’t whale season!
Dear Steven, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for joining us on our Marine Big 5 Safari. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. As with wildlife experiences, sightings can never be guaranteed and depend heavily on natural conditions, seasonal movements, and animal behaviour. While the Southern Right whale season in South Africa traditionally runs from July to November, we have still been fortunate to see Bryde’s whales on about 70% of our recent trips, along with occasional humpback whale sightings. Much like a safari in the Kruger National Park, every trip into nature is different; one day may offer extraordinary sightings, while the next may be quieter. That unpredictability is part of what makes wildlife experiences authentic and special. We do appreciate your kind comments about our staff, and most importantly, we thank you for supporting our conservation, research, and educational programmes through your visit. By joining us, you directly contributed to protecting marine wildlife and ecosystems along our coastline, and for that, we are truly grateful. We hope to welcome you back again during peak whale season in the future. Kind regards, Marine Dynamics Shark & Whale Tours
Booked this trip last minute as we had a few spare days in Cape Town. Pick up was easy and the mini bus was clean and comfortable luckily there were only 5 of us this day so plenty of room for all. Our driver was friendly and helpful. On arrival we were greeted by our guide and given a hot drink and cake. We then had a briefing on what to expect and H&S. Everyone had a life jacket and coat, just in case! On this occasion neither was needed! We then boarded the boat and headed out. The guide was quite clear that we may not see any of the big 5 but we did see all of them even if the whale sighting was brief. We were out on the water for just over two and a half hours. As well as our guide there was a marine biologist on board. We choose Marine Dynamics as they put a lot back into marine conservation and have a sea life sanctuary to help injured animals. After the boat was back on land we went back for hot soup and rolls, which was most welcome. Unfortunately I did feel a bit queasy on the trip even with sea sickness tablets as the swell was quite high but all of the staff on board did their best to help us. Overall a great trip and would recommend this company without hesitation, well worth it.
Hi MNalisonm, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your Marine Big 5 Safari with Marine Dynamics. We’re so pleased to hear that your last-minute decision turned into such a rewarding experience. From the smooth transfer from Cape Town to the warm welcome on arrival, it’s great to know that every part of your journey contributed to an enjoyable day. Seeing all five of the Marine Big 5 is always something special, even when some sightings are brief, and we’re glad nature delivered on the day. Having both a knowledgeable guide and a marine biologist on board is something we’re proud of, as it allows us to share deeper insight into this unique ecosystem. Thank you as well for recognising our commitment to marine conservation and our efforts to support injured and endangered wildlife through our work. We do appreciate you mentioning the sea conditions, too. The ocean can be unpredictable, and we’re glad our crew could assist and support you during the trip. We hope to welcome you back again in the future for another memorable day at sea. Warm regards, The Marine Dynamics Team
We were picked up from our hotel right on time. After arriving at the destination we donned the life jackets and proceeded to the boat. We saw so many animals and were amazed by the scenic views from out on the water. All of the staff we came in contact with were so friendly and professional.id definitely do this tour again if I’m ever back in Cape Town.
If travelling from Cape Town it is a long day, two hours there and the same back. However the nature you see makes it worth it
We saw all big5 :) Lucky I took motion sickness pills though, as it was quite a bumpy ride. Worth the stuggle, be prepared though for rough waters. Was absolutely breathtaking to see thousands of dolfins around you 🥰
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review, Erika! 🌊🐬 We’re thrilled to hear that you experienced the full Marine Big 5 — what an unforgettable day on the ocean! Seeing thousands of dolphins surrounding the boat truly is one of those breathtaking moments that stays with you forever. Thank you as well for mentioning the ocean conditions. Being prepared for a bumpy ride definitely helps, and we’re glad you felt it was worth it in the end. Nature always reminds us who’s in charge out there! We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another ocean adventure one day.
The day was well organised from pick up at the hotel to the time on the boat. Staff were welcoming and informative and we were fortunate to see all of the marine life mentioned in the programme including whales which are not normally seen in early December. Beautiful scenery en route and a fantastic time out on the water. Excellent trip.
Utterly brilliant tour - despite somewhat difficult seas!! Long drive in minivan from city - a little uncomfortable. Staff were all awesome. A snack and safety briefing then out to the boat. The day I went the sea was unforgiving - blowing a gale with very difficult sea conditions. The boat took off through the surf like a bucking bronco - which wasn't for everyone. The team on the boat were fab - informative, careful and always helping the guests. As with all these things, nature doesn't always play ball, and the sea conditions meant we could not safely go where some of the animals were, which was a pity, and the swell/lumpy sea meant actually spotting things was difficult. I wanted brilliant photos, and I could not get these, So for me a disappointment, however the trip was great and on any other day would have been perfect.
Incredible experience! As someone who loves whales and has not had the opportunity to see them before, I was over joyed to have the opportunity to see them. We were given plenty of time to view the animals the boat, and the boar was moved to accommodate the best view and all those on the boat. We were also lucky enough to see all 5, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the team onboard were professional and experienced. Well organised and stunning location.
Dear Charlotte Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first whale-watching experience was such a memorable one — and even more special that you were able to see all of the Marine Big 5. Our crew will be delighted to know that you appreciated their knowledge, professionalism, and the care taken to give everyone the best possible views. It’s fantastic to hear that the organisation and the beauty of our location also added to your experience. Thank you for choosing Marine Dynamics, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. However, I recommend that you read the fine print since pick up at the hotel was much earlier than what was on the website. The driver picked me up at 4:55 am. I thought it was a 9 am departure. Because of my jet lag and time difference, I wouldn’t have booked a trip this early.
Hi Vacation554316, Thank you for your feedback and for joining us on a Marine Dynamics tour. We’re glad to hear that you found our team friendly and knowledgeable — providing safe, professional, conservation-focused experiences is at the heart of what we do. Regarding the early pick-up time, we completely understand how difficult travel fatigue and jet lag can be. However, for all our trips, pick-up times are always confirmed the day before, as stated in the booking information. This is because we work strictly with weather and sea conditions, which can change quickly. On some days — including the one you joined — only early departures are possible for safety. Your safety will always come before schedule convenience. We wish the rating had reflected the full experience, including the sightings and our extensive conservation work, rather than only the challenge of the early start, but we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We hope the rest of your stay in South Africa was wonderful, and perhaps we’ll have the chance to welcome you back under more ideal conditions. Warm regards, The Marine Dynamics Team
