Whale Watching in South Africa
Dyer Island Cruises operates from Gansbaai. Whale watching
and shark cage diving in
close proximity to Hermanus & Cape Town in the Western Cape,
South Africa have become one of the most favourite extreme
experiences around the world.
We offer exciting and informative eco-tours around Dyer Island
all year (excluding May), and between July and December we
combine the Island experience with boat- based whale watching.
Our whale watching trips are considered not just magical but
rewarding too, and are sure to capture everyone’s imagination.
We can guarantee Southern right whale sightings between July and
December. We also operate great white shark cage diving tours
with Marine Dynamics. Join our team to experience both the
whales and the sharks that have made Dyer Island world famous.

All cruises depart from Kleinbaai harbour near Gansbaai. Dyer
Island is located 8 km from shore and is completely protected
for the conservation of its many resident bird species,
including African penguins. Adjacent to Dyer Island is Geyser
Rock, home to a 60,000 strong Cape fur seal colony. These seals
are also present all year round. The channel of water between
Dyer Island and Geyser Rock is the now world renowned Shark
Alley. This channel is part of our trip. On our whale watching
and Dyer Island trips we also see: Great white sharks, Bryde’s
whales, Humpback whales, Southern giant petrels, Cape gannets
and Dolphins.
We pride ourselves on being both fun and educational. Each trip
is led by experienced marine guides who will share their
knowledge with you, keeping emphasis on the welfare and
conservation of the animal. Responsible tourism is our main
objective so we focus on conservation, education, community
upliftment and safety.
Anyone who has had the joy of meeting a mighty whale face to
face will tell you just how magical it is. Huge, gentle,
mysterious, curious. Can you imagine a giant friend, like none
other? As captivated by you as you are by him. A whale longer
and wider than the boat in which you sit. An old acquaintance to
us, a new discovery for you. A whale of 40 tonnes launching
clear of the sparkling blue sea. A majestic tail of 5 metres,
saluting you against the backdrop of the rugged hills. An old
enchanter, who may live to 200 years, who has had spellbinding
adventures at sea which will be his secrets forever.
We live by our motto, “Discover and Protect”.
