With Ashley our deck captain and Johannes our Skipper, we took on this experience to explore the ocean beyond the Knysna heads. We saw the immense power of the ocean having carved out deep caves into the rocks, and the whale fin-shaped rock towering as if a natural statue amidst the gushing waves. Shortly into our exciting haphazard approach of the higher waves, Ashley spotted a whale. Much to everyone's surprise, upon following this huge giant, we learnt about their "footprints" in the water, and could assist in spotting another smaller creature. This time it turned out to be the whale's calf. Johannes' skill to see and follow them both,whilst pointing out the seals and even a hammerhead shark, was remarkable. We made a turnaround at Buffalo Bay from where we could again appreciate the beautiful coastline, and then heading back to the jetty, carefully navigating through the treacherous rocks at the Heads. This was an unforgettable experience and we'll be certain to return again soon.
