Ocean Blue Adventures

The Ocean Blue Group is located in the acclaimed Plettenberg Bay and is recognised as one of the leading adventure tour operators in both the Garden Route and South Africa.

The foundation of the business stems from the importance of providing not only memorable experiences, but to always maintain their famous feel-good factor, which permeates throughout their products and partnerships.

From the conception of the company, Ocean blue Adventures recognised the importance of community and the interdependence between the three pillars of the business; environmental impact, social effect and economic need. The significance of this has cemented their reputation as a crucial part of a thriving tourist community.

The Ocean Blue Group offers an impressive portfolio from Blue Flag accredited whale watching and culturally rich township tours to conservation based volunteering, educational enrichment and carbon offset programs. The culture of the business is about having a positive effect through every avenue whether it is through individual customers, charity organisations or their various conservation and research projects.

Ocean Blue is a licensed SABBWWA permit holder, which enables them to approach whales from 50 metres instead of 300 metres. Should the whales approach our vessel we do not have to move away. The guests therefore get an up close experience with these majestic mammals in the bay.

Ocean Blue Adventures has one of the only 3 Blue Flag accredited whale watching boats in SA, due to adherence to strict safety, environmental, educational and management criteria.

Ocean Blue is actively involved in Sustainable and Responsible Tourism, Ocean Blue believes that it’s not only about preserving the environment but also conserving a precious culture.

Money made from the Whale and dolphin watching tours get used to support community programs (Qolweni Township) and the ORCA foundation (Ocean Research Conservation Africa) working closely together with WWF and Nature Conservation.
