Amazing experience - We had an amazing experience seal viewing in Plettenberg Bay. Everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. Watching the seals in their natural environment was truly special – they amazed us with their acrobatics and playful nature. We highly recommend this experience to all nature and ocean lovers.

The Seals steal the show - Amazing opportunity to get up close to Cape Fur Seals. The whole experience was amazing. My friend just did the boat trip but I went in with the seals. Claude our guide was great - enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and even as a novice with a snorkel I felt very safe. It’s great that all the kit you need is provided, and to be able to download photos and videos for free is fantastic

Amazing trip - We had an amazing trip with Angelo our guide and his team
We didn't swim with the seals (not brave enough) but saw hundreds of them and found the whole experience so moving seeing them all swimming around the boat and jumping in and out of the water. We felt safe and well looked after throughout our trip thank you 😊

Great experience in great conditions - We were welcomed by Claude who provided with quality equipment after giving us clear explanations and safety instructions on how the activity would go.
The trip to the spot with the seals was very fun.
Regarding the activity itself, I didn’t expect so much interaction with the seals they are very playful but it still feels very safe. Claude will take nice pictures and videos of you with his GoPro that will be free of access and if you are lucky he will teach you how to make circle bubbles underwater (great teacher).
Once again thanks a lot for this unforgettable experience. 👋🏼

Fun, adventurous and insightful. - Such an amazing and insightful experience. We realized that seals are very smart and underestimated creatures and we loved interacting with them in their natural habitat. The guide was very friendly, well prepared and shared a lot of knowledge with us.

Nice boat trip, but you better go swimming with the seals - Great boat trip along robberg where we saw a lot of seals along the way. The boat “flies” in and out of the water and is an experience in itself. What we didn't know is that this is the same tour as the one where people go swimming with the seals. So you sail to the swimming spot and once there you float in the same spot for more than half an hour while the others dive out of your boat into the water. And then you go back. Eventually we found out in advance and we could arrange for the children to swim with the seals, which was a very nice experience for them.

Great close up interaction with the seals - Besides The tour starting half an hour late ( we were told to be there half an hour beforehand). - we stood around for very long. However the tour guide Angelo and Red were fabulous and we enjoyed the excursion and enjoyed the seals and got lots of information from Angelo and Red. Was awesome to see the seals from a different angle and so close up. The tour took one hour -

This is a tour for viewing people swimming with seals and not for viewing seals - We booked a seal viewing tour but ended up in watching people swimming with seals as they combine viewing and swimming tours. Due to security reasons for the people in the water the boat had to stay at one place and we could not encounter people free seals or seals on land. Very disappointing - worst tour we ever booked.
The tour also only started 30 min later but ended in time so it was very short.
The boat does not have a ledder. Tour is not suitable for smaller kids or older people as said in their description.
