Boat tour to see (and swim with) the seals in Plettenberg Bay

TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice

Meet the Cape’s most charismatic locals – the fur seals of Plettenberg Bay! Gear up for a 90-minute adventure that starts with an adrenaline-pumping beach launch (yes, by tractor) and a scenic cruise along the Robberg Peninsula. Home to around 8,000 playful seals, this is where you’ll slip into the water for a close-up encounter, guided by a professional dive master. Prefer to stay dry? Join the viewing trip instead – same fun, less splash. All gear, hot showers, changing rooms with lockers, and even a photo and video link are included. Just bring your sense of adventure (and maybe your best seal impression). Booking ahead is essential!
