Ivanhoe Boat Based Whale Watching

Ivanhoe Sea Safaris is regarded as one of the leading boat-based whale watching companies in South Africa. We also boast one of the limited whale watching permits allocated country wide. We specialise in Boat Based Whale Watching and we pride ourselves in offering a uniquely personalised service to all our clients.

We operate in Area 6 of Walker Bay which is celebrated as the best location from which to view the magnificent Southern Right Whales. Our guests are looked after in lavish style by our fully qualified, proficient and registered whale guides whose only duty is to make your trip as memorable as possible. The safety of our guests is paramount and we have all-encompassing public liability insurance. Area 6 of Walker Bay has the town of Hermanus on its Northern shore and the town of Gansbaai on its Southern shore. The Ivanhoe launches from the quaint fishing harbour of Gansbaai, from there we travel along the Cliffs of De Kelders and on towards Plaat beach. Gansbaai is a beautiful, scenic 35-minute drive from Hermanus and a two-hour drive from Cape Town.
