Event information
Some of the best local whale and dolphin watching happens in Hout Bay. The ‘Humpback Highway’ transits Hout Bay year-round, guests can sight creatures of the ocean as they feed on the bounty of fish that this region offers.
Occasionally, a pod of dolphins can be seen frolicking in the bay, often for hours at a time. Captain Jack’s keeps a 400bhp Gemini commercial powerboat on standby for just such occasions, though they are often spotted by chance too, and Captain Jack’s knowledgeable guides know just what signs to look out for.
Even on a rare quiet day for sealife, Hout Bay is a magical place to view from the water. With the horseshoe curve of the coast all around, and the mountains soaring upwards, to be out on the water with a fresh sea breeze is a tonic for the soul.
