WHALE WATCHING WITH ISLE OF CAPRI – DURBAN’S OCEAN GIANTS AWAIT

Set sail with Isle of Capri Cruises in Durban for an unforgettable whale watching adventure along South Africa’s east coast. Operating out of the vibrant Durban Harbour, this experienced crew offers you front-row seats to one of nature’s greatest spectacles—the annual migration of humpback whales.

From June to November, these ocean giants make their way up the coastline, breaching, tail-slapping, and cruising close to shore. Onboard the comfortable Isle of Capri vessel, you’ll head into the warm Indian Ocean, guided by a knowledgeable team who know exactly where to find the whales—and how to interpret their breathtaking behaviour.

More than just a sightseeing trip, this is a powerful, humbling encounter with marine life in its natural element. Along the way, you might also spot dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds, all while soaking in views of Durban’s skyline from the water.

The Isle of Capri team prioritises safety, comfort, and respect for the animals, following responsible wildlife viewing practices. Their local expertise and genuine passion for the sea make every cruise informative and exhilarating.

Whether you’re a traveller chasing bucket-list moments or a Durban local craving a fresh ocean escape, Isle of Capri’s whale watching tours are the perfect way to witness the wild side of KwaZulu-Natal’s coast.
