Whale, Dolphin, and Penguin Island Marine Life Viewing Cruise
Duration: 3.5 to 4 hours
Embark on an unforgettable marine adventure with our comprehensive tour. We begin with a scenic harbor cruise and a thorough safety briefing before heading out to explore the islands. Our journey takes us to St. Croix Island and Brenton Island. St. Croix Island is a crucial breeding ground for 3,000 endangered African penguins, nestled within a Marine Protected Area. Here, you’ll get an up-close look at these charming, comical birds.

Throughout the cruise, you may have the chance to spot an array of marine wildlife, including bottlenose dolphins (we’re renowned as the bottlenose capital of the world), common dolphins, humpback dolphins, Bryde’s whales, minke whales, humpback whales (from June to December), Southern right whales (from July to September), Cape fur seals, various shark species, Cape gannets, and a diverse range of pelagic birds such as terns, petrels, skuas, shearwaters, and albatrosses.

Our team is dedicated to making this unique experience as enjoyable as possible.
