Simon's Town Boat Company Tours and Cruises in False Bay, Cape Town

From July to December False Bay comes alive with the annual visit of the Southern Right whales. At up to 18 metres in length and weighing nearly 50 tonnes, these magnificent, gentle giants of the sea were nearly hunted to extinction. Fortunately worldwide legislation now protects them and the numbers are rising annually. They come into the bay to calve, mate or simply have a break from the icy Antarctic conditions. They love our warm sheltered conditions and can often be seen leaping out of the water, tail lobbing, spy-hopping, mating or simply lazing around. You need not be afraid as we keep a safe distance! For the best “ECO” experience in Cape Town we include whale viewing on both our Seal Island & Cape Point cruises at no extra charge, so you get double the value! Sightings of Brydes whales, Humpback whales, Orcas and Dolphins are also common.
