5.00A huge “Thank you” to Golden Eagle and their incredible guide Jean for making my experience so amazing. I booked this tour mostly because I wanted to see whales! I saw them! Super happy! Wine tasting at Creation Wineries in the green heights of the scenic “Heaven and Earth” wine valley was impeccable! We had lunch at “Bientang’s Cave restaurant & wine bar” just in front of sea and we could see whales from our table! My guide Jean went extra miles and took me to Atlantis Dunes for Quad Biking experience. He also took me to Cape Agulhas, the Southernmost tip of Africa & the official meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian oceans currents! Thank you for making my tour the most memorable excursion in Cape Town! I won’t hesitate recommending you to all my friends.
Great experience

5.00We had a great experience with Golden Eagle!We loved the tour from the moment it started to the end!I really wanted to visit the Cape of Golden Hope!It is historically and ecologically an interesting spot!The Table mountain as one of the seven Wonders of Nature has been on my bucket list for a while!What a uniquely wonderful place! It was my first time to see penguin outside of zoos and aquariums! The Boulders Beach is gorgeous with green waters and gigantic Boulders with hundreds of penguins wooddling and swimming around. We saw a couple of wild animals including Eland,Baboons, Ostriches, one Onyx, hyraxes... Our guide Jean was professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend the tour to my friend. Highly recommend.
A trip to remember!!✨️

5.00Today was absolutely fantastic with whale watching and wine tasting in Hermanus! It was my first ever time to see whales! We arrived in Hermanus well in time and we drove alongside the cliffs path in Hermanus where many people were standing at the edge taking pictures and video of whales! After a short briefing, we took a boat and watched whales for about 2h30’! We spotted Southern Right, Humpback & Bryde’s whales that came close enough to our boat! We also spotted lots of dolphins, Penguins and seals. I am very happy with the experience! We will definitely come back 😍 Thank you so much!!
Superb day with our guide Jean.

5.00We enjoyed a lovely clear-skies and calm-sea weather with a number of giant Southern Right whales coming closer to our boat! This was a great moment in my life! Interacting with penguins at Stony Point was marvellous too! We had a great a moment with Golden Eagle! We also bought Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay wine bottles to take home! I will book you again.
A must in Cape Town

5.00This was a wonderful experience. From our hotel in Cape Town Central, we drove to Hermanus Harbor. We arrived early in the morning. We had a cup of coffee and were briefly briefed about the boat trip. About a 1/2 mile from the harbor, hundreds of Bottlenose dolphins started racing against our boat. It was awe-inspiring. We took lots of close pictures and video. To our big surprise, two Humpback whales appeared, heading to our boat. Sighting was very close indeed. We also spotted a couple of Brydes, even from the cliff after the boat trip We did not have a chance to spot any Southern Right however. Learning more about whales and their behavior was such an interesting experience. Thank you Golden Eagle, thank you Southern Right Charters. Thank you Jean & Joe.
