For those who want a bit more adventure, this whale-watching cruise is sure to tick all the boxes. Departing from the Wilson’s Wharf Marina, you’ll embark on a two-hour journey along the open ocean.

  • Open ocean sailing
  • Live tour guide’s speaking English and Zulu

Although the only tour times to choose from are 7 am and 9 am, this doesn’t mean you have to miss the Durban sunset. There are loads of beachside restaurants near the tour meeting point, all offering magical coastal views come sunset.

Now that you know the area quite well after your tour, you can always circle back for a sunset-kissed dinner at one of the area’s top restaurants.
