This
must be added to your
bucket list Experience the East London coastline like never before East London boasts a wealth of excellent, bucket-list experiences for those who appreciate the beauty of our spectacular coastline.
John Barry
Few come close, however, to the other-worldly awe of coming faceto-face with a large, exuberant pod of cheeky dolphins hell-bent on making friends and showing of their impressive diving torpedo skills.
Such is the experience that skipper John Barry routinely serves up when he takes tourists and visitors out on his catamaran for an exhilarating trip up the East London coastline. In addition to chasing down dolphin pods and getting nerve-wrecking close to large, lumbering whales, John offers a unique feature that is an absolute must on your bucket list: being able to actually listen to dolphins who, it turns out, are remarkable chatty! John recently acquired a state-of-the-art underwater microphone, which he lowers into the ocean in close proximity to the pods to catch their excited chatter. If you love the ocean, this is something
you have to experience at least once in your life! Further enhancing his guests’ experience of the sea, John readily shares his wealth of knowledge about our coastline, marine life and ocean conditions with his guests. If you’re curious about life just beyond the breaking of the waves, this is the man you want to spend a leisurely afternoon chatting with. John’s boat launches from Latimer’s Landing and while all trips need to be pre-booked, this can be done at fairly short notice, weather depending. For more information, contact John on 082 938 6275. Trust us: This is not an experience you want to miss out on.
