🌊 TALK OF THE TOWN TUESDAY 🌊

Where are the humpback dolphins? 🐬

Join us on 16 June for an eye-opening evening with Dr Alejandra Vargas as we explore the lives of one of South Africa’s most endangered marine mammals — the Indian Ocean humpback dolphin.

With possibly fewer than 500 animals remaining nationwide, these elusive dolphins face increasing pressure from coastal development, boat traffic, pollution, and habitat change. Decades of research are beginning to reveal where they still occur, how they use our coastline, and what their future may hold.

This morning’s Eco Tour with our guests from Highline Tours felt like stepping straight into the heartbeat of the coastline.

The ocean carried a little extra energy today, the kind that makes the sea feel alive beneath you and turns every moment into part of the adventure. As we moved along the rugged shoreline, stories of the coast unfolded between rocky headlands, hidden coves, and the rich natural history that shapes this beautiful stretch of ocean.

Then came one of those unforgettable sightings that quiets a boat in seconds… bottlenose dolphins feeding along the coastline, weaving effortlessly through the moving water while everyone watched in complete awe. Cameras were forgotten for a moment as people simply soaked it all in.

Salt spray in the air, laughter rolling across the deck and a group of wonderful people sharing the experience together… mornings like these leave their mark long after the boat returns to shore. 🌿🐬🌊

Seeing these gentle giants return to the waters of Knysna always feels a little magical, and we have a feeling this whale watching season is going to be an exciting one.

Keep your eyes on the horizon… "Whale season has officially begun. 🌊
