Not just an activity provider, but a nice hospitality! The day that we booked had bad weather, got notified one day before for reschedule. When we reached, we were greeted with friendly smiles, muffin and tea/coffee. On the boat, the crew were nice and helpful to ensure we are not sea sick and able to see the animals up close. We saw all big 5 marine animals. When we were back on land, we were given bread and soup.
What an incredible experience! We were so fortunate to see numerous wonderful sightings of not only the Southern Right Whales but also Humpback Whales on our return—they put on an amazing show! The wildlife extended beyond whales, too: we spotted African Penguins, seals, beautiful seabirds, and even some sharks near a diving operation. The entire staff were also fabulous, with the guides being super knowledgeable and friendly from the moment we arrived at the facility. All in all, an amazing experience!
We had a great trip with Marine Dynamics. The crew was friendly and took really good care of everyone on board, as well as before and after the boat tour. Our guide Laetitia and her colleagues, shared lots of interesting information and made the trip feel special. We loved how respectfully the team treated the animals and how passionate they are about conservation. An unforgettable experience that we’d happily do again!
