Boat trips in Gqeberha, South Africa.
Select from a range of superbly run boat trips in Gqeberha; from educational and conservation focussed experiences out in Algoa Bay to lazy sunset cruises on the Sundays River and everything in between.
Gqeberha’s Algoa Bay, one of the largest bays in Africa, dotted with 7 small islands, is one of the most fertile areas of this oceanic system in the world and as a result is home to an exciting array of marine wildlife including the African penguin. An ocean safari out here will rival your Addo National Park experience in terms of the birds and marine animals you will encounter; whales, dolphins and seals to mention the obvious attractions.
Some boat trips go to St Croix Island, home to the largest colony of breeding African penguins in the world. Here you can really observe why the collective noun for penguins on land is ‘a waddle’ and on water ‘a raft’ of penguins.
Gqeberha’s wide, tidal Sundays River winds lazily through snow white dunes and offers another stunning environment for boat trips. These are leisurely experiences that often allow for time exploring and ‘surfing’ on the dunes.
