What travellers are saying
- mariska rCape Town, South Africa17 contributionsWe had an amazing tour whale watching. On the first day the visibility wasn't great and Percy arranged for us to reschedule for the next day. On the second trip we saw so many whales and they came up close to the boat. What a magical experience thanks to Percy and his team, highly recommended 😃Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- neeratravelerSan Francisco, CA243 contributionsWe did the Whale watching trip with Southern Right Charters in Hermanus . I don’t remember which tour, it was a planned itinerary. It was amazing to see all the whales. The guide was informative and the crew very good. I tried to take photos but gave up because the boat was a little shaky as we got closer to the whales and I had to hold on to the railings. It was a great experience .

- Sunshine379525297762 contributionsNeptune divers are truly an awesome
team! They guided us and showed
so much patience during our week with them! I found my first dive intimidating but they really reassured me and patiently took those first deep under water breaths with me.
Truly appreciate it, the Neptune team will
see us again!Written 24 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EllieLondon, UK33 contributionsA great way to spot whales! The crew were all very lovely and helped us to spot whales. The tour was a 2 hour round trip which was the perfect amount of time & complementary water & crisps were provided halfway through the trip. Thanks to all members of staff for a wonderful experience!Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Angie K1 contributionThank you so much for the 2 hour walk along the beautiful Cliff Path in Walker Bay Hermanus the other day!
It’s a memory I will cherish for a long time! I felt so enriched and grateful for the beauty we are given to enjoy here!
Your enthusiasm and obvious passion for the eco system, and nature was tangible to say the least!
I have had so many questions I have wanted to know about the Southern Right whale and you answered them all! I was blown away by the intelligence instilled in these magnificent creatures. So thank you for clearing a lot of things in my own head. I also never realised how in nature the flora and fauna are so reliant on one another to survive and thrive! The way you opened this up to us was incredible and made me realise we all have a vital part to play in its sustainability!
I will never walk these paths the same way again! Even the insight into the different rocks and how they were formed was incredible!
How the fynbos also thrive and survive off each other the flora and fauna have an intelligence and support system of their own!
It’s certainly inspired me to want to know more and see how I am able to be a contributor to its sustainability! Our World faces a global warming crisis! The more we can understand the inter connection between flora fauna and humanity, the more we will own our part of lending a helping hand to its sustainability!
Thank you for the time you gave us! Loved your enthusiasm and depth of insight to this wonderful world we so blessed to live in, enjoy and discover!
You will definitely see me again!
I am looking forward to a beach walk and being wowed again by its extraordinary life we know only a fraction of!
Keep doing what you doing! Awareness is so important!
Grateful!

The entire process of working with Navigator Tours was smooth and easy. From being interested and asking for advise through the website, to booking a standard tour, customizing with some additional excursions. We travelled with a small child (5) and Navigator Tours made sure there was a child seat in the car and had additional attention for pointing out which things to do, or not to do with a child.
All accommodations Navigator Tours booked for us were splendid. Luxurious, child loving, taking good care of their guests.
Martin was our guide for the week, and we had a blast! He provided us with excellent info about all our visits, acted as a driver for visits we wanted to do outside of the pre-booked ones, pointed out which restaurants to go to... Our little boy left his teddybear in one of the B&B's, which we only found out late in the evening. Instead of having it mailed to us, Martin got up very early in the morning, drove back to go get the teddybear and was back for a late breakfast to make our boy very happy!
There is only one conclusion to be made after our trip with Navigator Tours: we will be booking again in the future!Written 12 May 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
