Advantage ToursWhale Safaris in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa  
DescriptionTHE WHALES migrate pass this stretch of coastline between the months of mid May to mid December annually , to calf and breed in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean , moving as far as Mozambique and Madagaskar before making the journey back to the Antarctic . You may be fortunate to witness a 40ton acrobatic HUMPBACK WHALE breaching a mere 50 meters away from the boat !!!! or maybe just swimming alongside the vessel . SHARING TIME WITH THESE PLAYFUL GENTLE GIANTS OF THE OCEAN IS A SOUL –STIRRING EXPERIENCE, AN INVESTMENT YOU MAKE IN YOUR OWN LIFE, AND SOMETHING NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. You may also see a variety of pelagic bird life, dolphin frolicking alongside the bow of the boat, sea turtles in season, shark, marlin,whale shark and other interesting marine mammals and cetacea . We need about 3 hours of your time, of which the actual tour duration is approximately 2 hours on the ocean, and then 30 minutes on either side to get you to-and from the launch site. This in itself is an adventure, as you meet at a central booking office, from where you will be taken to the launch site with a 4 x 4 truck onto the beach. From the time that you meet at the office till 3 hours later when you return from your trip , cameramen will be taking video footage of yourself and your sightings and a personalized DVD of yourself aboard the Advantage Charter can be bought at the WHALE SHOP about an hour after your return, If you have been out at sea with Danie for the entire 2 hours and you have NOT seen any whale , you will get 40% of your money refunded the moment you return to the office . Please do make sure that you go with a legal operator like ADVANTAGE , South Africa only has 9 legal Boat Based Whale Watching permit holders, of which Advantage is currently still the only in KwaZulu Natal , it is the clients obligation to ensure their operator has the legal permit from Marine and Coastal Management .
