Whale Watching in Mossel Bay – A Garden Route Marine Safari

Set off on a whale watching adventure in Mossel Bay with Mossel Bay Boat Trips, one of the Garden Route’s most exciting marine experiences. Between July and October, the bay becomes a playground for Southern Right Whales, with Humpback Whales also passing through on their migratory route. These gentle giants often breach, tail-slap, or swim close to the boat, offering unforgettable photo opportunities.

But whales are only part of the story. On your cruise, you may also encounter Great White and other shark species, playful pods of dolphins, and a wide variety of seabirds that call this coastline home. A highlight of every safari is a visit to Seal Island, where thousands of Cape Fur Seals laze on the rocks or play in the water.

Your experienced skipper and crew know the bay intimately, ensuring a safe, respectful, and memorable encounter with marine wildlife. Every trip is conducted in line with South Africa’s Marine Legislation, meaning the animals are never disturbed, only admired.

Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or family looking for a unique outing, Mossel Bay whale watching is an unmissable part of any Garden Route holiday.
