Q: What should I wear for a marine wildlife boat tour?

Wear layers and a windbreaker. Even in summer, ocean breezes are cold, and spray from waves can make you wet.

Q: How can I prevent seasickness during the safari?

Take motion sickness medication 30 minutes before departure and avoid eating a heavy meal right before boarding.

Q: Are shark cage diving excursions included in the safari?

Standard safaris focus on whale and dolphin watching; shark cage diving is a separate specialized excursion.

Q: What is the best season for whale watching in Cape Town?

The peak season is between June and November when Southern Right Whales migrate to the local coastal waters.

Q: Is photography equipment allowed on the boat?

Yes, but bring waterproof housing or dry bags. Professional drones usually require prior permit approval.

Q: What happens if the weather or sea conditions are unsafe?

For safety, tours may be rescheduled or refunded if high swells or heavy winds make the ocean conditions too rough.
