Birding Trips
Join us as we travel into False Bay, past cape point and 15nm offshore to find the amazing bird life of coastal and deep oceans. It is truly amazing to see large colonies of Cape cormorants nesting on the tip of the peninsular. Once offshore we may encounter many albatross, petrol and storm petrel species, with the Shy, Blackbrowed, Atlantic Yellow-nose and Indian Yellow-nose albatross being present almost year round. Getting up close and personnel with these birds is a challenge but is extremely rewarding. Join us on a trip and add many new species to your life list.
