Mossel Bay is a beautiful
country, offering some of the most beautiful scenery, landscapes
and sights in the world. Undoubtedly there could be few better
ways to observe these marvels, than from high up in the sky.
Helicopter flights and flips in Mossel Bay allow you the
joys of a bird’s
eye-view of the beauty that Mossel Bay has to offer. A
scenic flight offers the opportunity to view a vast area
in a relatively short space of time. |

Boat trips to Mossel Bay's
Seal Island can be taken hourly from the harbor. Romantic sunset
cruises can also be done every evening when the weather permits
it. The Cape Fur Seal, Sharks, Dolphins and in season Whales
can be seen from the boat. This is a fun and educating trip
viewing not only the animals, but also to see Mossel Bay from
another angle. Deep sea fishing can also be done and there
are several operators that operate daily from the harbor. |
|
| Whales & Dolphins |
|
Dolphins are common in the area and can almost be seen daily
from our shore and boat trip operators. Whales can also be
spotted in season time ( July - August ) when the come to our
bay to breed in the shallows. Amazing Orcas ( Killer Whales
) have been reported in our bay and it seems they are coming
deeper in to the bay every year! |
