PELAGIC BIRDING TOURS

The southern tip of Africa offers
some of the world’s best pelagic birding.

Powered by the icy Benguela Current and strong south-easterly winds, these nutrient-rich waters attract seabirds from across the Southern Ocean, including some of the world’s most spectacular albatrosses.

From Hout Bay, we head offshore into these incredible waters, with the opportunity to encounter species that can travel thousands of kilometres across the Southern Ocean.

Some visitors come specifically for the birds. Others simply want to experience the wild, open ocean. Either way, a day offshore with Hooked on Africa is about seeing Cape Town from a completely different perspective.

In partnership with Zest for Birds, we offer unforgettable pelagic birding experiences combining local ocean knowledge, experienced guides and some of the world’s most exciting seabirding.
