Aquarium members took to the high seas on Saturday for an exclusive marine eco-tour, aboard the ship-shape Ocean Adventurer.
The Ocean Adventurer‘s high-performance sailing catamaran hull makes it very fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, and it is thus the ideal way to learn about the rich biodiversity found in the waters of Cape Town’s Table Bay and surrounds.
Although the south-easter made itself known, a fun morning was had by all – and the crew did a fine job of keeping everyone happy and entertained. Our guided tour of Cape Town’s coastline included fascinating tidbits about the harbour and some of the ships currently docked there, the architecture of some of Cape Town’s most famous landmarks, including the Cape Town Stadium and the Green Point lighthouse, and of course, the birdlife and sea life that can be spotted here too, from terns and cormorants to Cape fur seals and Southern right whales.
