Ocean Safari / False Bay Expedition

Join the Cape RADD marine research team on an Ocean Safari / False Bay Expedition! This is an opportunity for YOU and your family and friends to experience a day in the life of a marine biologist! Learn about conservation initiatives whilst joining marine biologists in collecting data on the marine life of False Bay, an area of incredible biodiversity! Search for the Marine BIG 5, as we look out for whales, dolphins, sharks, seals and penguins! AND we take a journey into the underwater world of the bay using drop cameras.

Learn about the unique ecosystems and reasons behind the mega-faunal biodiversity in the area over breakfast whilst one of our marine biologists explains why this area is so unique and special, the research projects you are going to be involved with during the days expedition, and some information on the animals we may come across during our expedition.

Please note that this expedition requires a minimum of 6 participants, if we do not reach capacity we will roll your booking over to the next availability.
