3. Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 133 reviews
Our cruise is unique in that we operate in the diverse Algoa Bay, rich in wildlife and history. Visiting St Croix island, home to half the worlds remaining endangered African Penguins. This tour is run just once a day instead of trying to run multiple cruises in one day. This ensures that our skippers and guides are fresh and alert for every cruise and makes it possible to spend more time and effort searching for wildlife in our Bay or observing something special that we come across provided that no one on board is in a rush to get back for a flight or bookings previously made. Our main focus is education, conservation and assisting in research which is made possible by the funds generated from our Marine Eco-Cruises out into Algoa Bay. Trees are planted to balance our carbon footprint for each cruise conducted. We use smaller boats so as to keep our cruises personal. Our skippers and Guides are very knowledge and are there to answer any questions and see to the needs of our Guests.
Inclusions: We provide spring water on tap and fresh croissants to snack on during our crusies

Thanks to Lloyd for letting me join on an impromptu trip to go see this amazing young humpback whale breach around 50 times. We only got to spend an hour with this amazing creature and it was incredible, so I can only imagine how special the full whale watching and penguin island cruises are. I will definitely plan on joining one next time I am in PE. The unpredictable nature of these animals is what makes seeing them all that more special.

While I can understand that a lot of people might enjoy a nudge over the edge, saying that they're glad about it because it turned out to be the best experience of their life - it was one of the worst of mine. I have a fear of heights and was freaking out about everything, but my friends convinced me to at least try. Once on the bridge, I started having a bit of an anxiety attack and the assistants seemed really helpful: they told me that they'd strap me up and that I could walk to the edge - if I felt the urge to leap, fantastic, and if not, they'd pull me back and untie my legs. Once on the edge I couldn't even look down and I asked them to help me back (your feet get tied together so you can't walk) but instead of doing as they'd promised, they pushed me. I screamed all the way down and had a panic attack at the bottom. The only time I looked down was involuntarily when the ground was rushing up to my face as I was pushed and falling and I thought I was going to die. When the guy came down to pull me back up, he told me to stop crying because I was going to have a bunch of cameras on me when I arrived back at the bridge. Like I said, some people may enjoy a push, but don't push somebody when it's clearly against their will and they're already panicking on the bridge. At least I never have to do anything like that again in my life because I can say with confidence that I absolutely hated it, thanks to the traumatic experience from Face Adrenalin.

Visited and did a self drive trip with the family.... We hit the jackpot when around the corner at one of the water holes we spotted a massive herd of elephants. Was an amazing experience and will definitely be back and take up their guided tours next time.
