Welcoming the Whales to Algoa Bay Festival

There are many threats to our world’s oceans (our blue planet). If we do not take swift and drastic action, we are going to lose much of what we love and rob our future generations of a healthy environment. We believe that one of the main things that is preventing people from helping our oceans today is a lack of insight or information. The idea behind our festivals is to provide the public with a fun yet informative experience that provides them with the information they need to make informed decisions. Thus, enabling them to do their part in the conservation of our oceans.

This year will see the Festival being held for the 4th year in a row. Lloyd Edwards, after years of welcoming the whales on his cruises started the Festival in 2018 and it has been hosted annually at Pine Lodge resort and conference centre every June. It has grown organically and except for 2020 when the Covid 19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown dictated that the festival goes “online”.
