Whale of a time

Published on Nov, 2024

Friendly welcome from 'Ivanhoes' receptionist, down at Gansbaai Harbour. Faultless experience once on board with crew. The boats really comfy and offers fabulous views of danger point Lighthouse, the Cape fold mountains, Gansbaii and Walker Bay Nature reserve from the ocean. Infact on a clear day you can see over past Hermanus to Betty's Bay, We saw Seals in the harbour and far out at sea. Luckily we also got to see a Southern Right Whale and her Calf. There's only so long in the season when they are here, this we were warned about and told that most had moved on. This highlights the skill in finding the Whales and the professionalism of the company of being honest about expectations. They see Dolphins on occassions and other whale species too at times. But as with any safari, albeit on land or sea, you never know what you're going to see. I think that this adds to the excitement. I thoroughly recommend using these guys.

Excellent whale watch

Published on Nov, 2024

We chose Ivanhoe as the boats are not too big, making it a more personal experience. We soon found the majestic Southern Right Whales, several Mums with Calf’s . They swam right along side the boat, so relaxed . Very emotional experience. The tour is only two hours long , we could all have stayed out longer . Try to choose a calm day, as spotting the whales is so much easier.

What an incredible experience! Our guide was funny and informative. We managed to see two kinds of whales and even a baby whale . Would definitely do it again!
