Overview

The ultimate adventure for modern day explorers, a special opportunity to encounter whales, dolphins and turtles on our guided boats

The shallow reefs and rock pools along our protected stretch of coastline are home to an array of brilliant sub-tropical fish including moorish idols, parrot fish, electric rays and blue surgeons. Due to the diversity and abundance of reef fish, Mabibi is regarded as one of the best snorkeling sites in South Africa.

The warm Indian Ocean also supports a myriad of marine mammal species, including southern right whales, humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, humpback dolphins and spinner dolphins.

With this tour, guests have the chance to get up-and-close with these amazing marine mammals on an open sea adventure.

This adventure activity offers guests a rare opportunity to experience the variety of marine life that lives along the Elephant Coast. An exciting launch through the surf, in front of the lodge, takes you beyond the breakers where you spend approximately an hour experiencing the beauty of the ocean and enjoying the scenery of our beautiful coastline, where dolphins and whales swim freely.

important notes:

🔰We regret no children under 12 years or adults over 65 years can take part in the Open Ocean Experience.

🔰No experience is required for this activity, but the launch through the surf can be strenuous.

🔰The trip is limited to a maximum number of 10 guests

🔰This activity is weather and tide dependent and lasts approximately one hour

🔰There is an additional charge for this activity.

🔰To get to our reefs, we start with a shore entry boat launch. This is a normal boat launch procedure for this part of the coastline and for most guests, probably the first time they will have experienced a launch of this nature. It is exciting and adventurous however the launch can be strenuous, so a reasonable level of fitness is required.

🔰Since we are exploring a natural environment, sightings of specific species are not guaranteed.
