West Coast Run – The Western Cape Experience

West Coast Run – The Western Cape Experience by Expert-Tours

Ocean Safari on South Africa’s Untamed West Coast
Langebaan to St Helena Bay

Welcome to a coastline where the ocean still writes its own rules.
Here, north of Langebaan, one of the most extraordinary marine spectacles on our planet unfolds — powerful humpback superpods, vast clouds of krill, playful Cape fur seals, sleek dolphin groups, and the occasional Mola mola drifting past beneath our boat like a visitor from another world.

And you?
You’re not watching from afar — you’re part of the moment.

Where the Superpods Come Alive

Every year, massive concentrations of krill gather along St Helena Bay. This abundance attracts hundreds — sometimes more than a thousand — humpback whales feeding, diving, socialising, and singing in unison. Their breaths echo across the water, their bodies glide only metres away through the blue.

Imagine:
You’re on the boat — or snorkeling above a shimmering cloud of krill — and the silhouettes of humpbacks rise around you.
An experience that leaves a mark.
A natural wonder unlike anything else in the world.

More Than Whales — A Living, Breathing Ecosystem

The West Coast is raw, wild, and alive.
And on every weather-perfect day, it surprises us all over again.

• Cape fur seals — curious, playful, sometimes within arm’s reach

• Dusky and Heaviside’s dolphins cutting through the water like arrows

• The iconic Mola mola, sunning at the surface before slipping gracefully into the deep

• And that unmistakable feeling of being part of an ocean that is pulsing right beneath you

These encounters don’t belong on postcards.
They belong in your life.
