"We did a custom sea safari and had an awesome time seeing everything the coast has to offer, from pods of dolphins to snorkeling with seals to exploring marine caves. We got to do things on our own schedule and never felt rushed. Highly recommended."

" Oceans Africa warmly welcomed us at the pier and had perfectly arranged our trip... we saw dolphins, seals, penguins, and stingray along with invigorating rock formations caressed by crashing waves. The genuine enthusiasm by the team enhanced our enjoyment of this experience. Highly recommend Oceans Africa for your visit to the world of My Octopus Teacher! "

"... Oceans Africa doesn't feel like one of those "tourist" things to do, it feels like going on one the most picturesque and unique boating experiences with friends. You will get off the boat feeling like you got more, and more, and more! Highly recommend! "
