Full description
This tour will take you on an unforgettable trip around Durban. Durban Harbor is the biggest and busiest harbor in the southern hemisphere. The harbor tours are especially educational for kids, as the boat takes them to points of interest in Africa’s largest harbor and shows them the route through which ships enter the harbor, discharge cargo, and exit. 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.

Although it was a windy day, our tour guide/captain maneuvered through the waves swiftly without any water splashes. Also, he was kind enough to play us good music. I loved how he explained and answered all questions we had in line with the boats at the harbor. I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise.

I enjoyed the skipper's enthusiasm and allowing us to steer the boat for a few seconds just to feel the thrill. Explaining the points of interest as we traversed the waters was done with passion, I wished we could have taken an hour's tour rather than just 30minutes

Upgraded to the hour tour and it was well worth the extra expense! Even went out of the harbor for a bit and our kids thought it most exciting! The very friendly Skipper gave our little boy a chance behind the steering wheel and it was the highlight of his holiday!
