1. Durban: 30-Minute Harbor Boat Cruise

This tour will take you on an unforgettable trip around Durban. Durban Harbor is the biggest and busiest harbor in the southern hemisphere.

The skipper will teach the passengers about the port and its operation. If the weather conditions are favourable, the boat may go further out from the shore. The skipper is in close contact with the passengers and will give you a comprehensive guided tour. The trip will either take you down the Maydon Wharf Channel or to the City and Cor Container terminal.

We had a wonderful 1/2 day today accompanied by our guide Benson. Very competent and friendly, picked up on time at the ship and worried about our well-being, he wanted to see us happy and he succeeded. He asked us what we want to see and so we went to Lion Park and Tala Reserve. He brought us safely to the hidden animals in a comfortable and well-sprung off-road vehicle, which we would not have been able to experience on the tourist track. The return trip to the port took place with a small city tour. Taking my walker with me was no problem. We can fully recommend the tour and Mr. Benson. Thanks.

We had an amazing tour, the guide was also very friendly showed all the animals in no rush at our own pace… Ill definitely do it again.

The boat was on time and very clean. You get to see other areas in Durban and learn about the rich history of the city.
