Approaching a fishing trawler off the continental shelf near Cape Town is a birding experience that will remain engraved in your memory forever. Having thousands of albatrosses only an arm's length away is a highlight of most birding trips to Cape Town. For first-timers, it is an awesome spectacle, and for more experienced hands it's a great chance to search for adrenaline-pumping rarities. Day trippers in winter regularly see over 10 000 seabirds of up to 30 species, making it arguably the world's most memorable yet easily accessible seabirding experience.

Book with us for any pelagic trip off the Cape or South Africa, at the most competitive prices. The aim of the service is to promote sustainable ecotourism, not only by providing a wealth of seabird information and a booking facility for day trips and other specialist trips, but to put all the proceeds back into conservation.
