Advantage Tours is currently the only legally licensed company for boat-based whale watching within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and is approved by Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa. Whale Watching season is late May through December, when giant humpback whales migrate to the warm waters near the coastline to calf and breed. Tours last 2 hours and sightings are guaranteed, otherwise you get a 40 percent refund. They offer late-night turtle tours to Cape Vital from November-February. They can also arrange a variety of activities including hippo/croc boat tours along the estuary, game reserve tours to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, horseback riding, deep-sea fishing and more.
