About This Trip

Cape Town Pelagics operates in the famed waters where the cold Benguela Current meets the warmer Agulhas Current off the southern tip of Africa — one of the world's premier pelagic birding destinations. Monthly trips from Cape Town's harbour venture into deep offshore waters to encounter albatrosses (nine species possible), petrels, shearwaters, storm-petrels, and endemic Southern Ocean specialties. The Cape Point area offers some of the most accessible and species-rich pelagic birding anywhere on Earth.
