tour operators for whale watching at the danger point peninsula

1. DYER ISLAND CRUISES
Join Dyer Island Cruises on an unforgettable journey to the domain of the southern right whale. A close encounter with a curious whale is a truly life-changing experience. You will also encounter some of the other marine life around Dyer Island - various seabirds, playful Cape fur seals in 'Shark Alley' and African penguins. This is possibly the only location in the world where you can marvel at fantastic whale sightings and have an 80% chance of spotting a great white shark. Dolphins are also frequent visitors to the area.

Our boat, Whale Whisperer, has been custom built for comfort and safety in local sea conditions. The raised observation deck ensures a spectacular view. Dyer Island Cruises is the sole boat-based whale watching permit holder for Kleinbaai and operates according to a strict code of conduct. Proceeds benefit conservation, education, research and community development projects.
