What about Rabies:

We want to keep you in the loop about the recent rabies outbreak in seals. We’re closely monitoring the situation with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and Cape Nature. While there have been a few isolated cases, we’re continuing our activities with some extra safety measures to ensure everyone’s well-being.

We’ll keep you informed about rabies risks and our approach to managing them. Our team has put additional protective steps in place, and we have spotters watching for any unusual seal behavior.

Our local hospital is well-prepared for any seal bite injuries, with trained staff and vaccines on hand, just in case.

We also carry first aid supplies for bite wounds and make sure our guides stay close while you’re in the water, ready to help if needed. To keep the seals calm and ensure you have a great experience, we’ve slightly reduced the time spent in the water.

If you’re feeling a bit uneasy, no problem! You can choose to join a viewing trip instead, which is just as enjoyable. The choice is completely yours, and we’re here to make your experience safe and fun!

Great! - Antonie van Stiphout


It was one of the most enjoyable and remarkable activities during the entire South Africa trip. We were taken absolutely great care if in every aspect, not to mention there were hot showers available after return to the base camp, and there were fotos of the excursion to download free of charge after. It's a must do, when in Plett. And do it with the Offshore Adventures guys. I would do it again, when in town next time. Thank you! - Frank Johne


Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis mit den Robben zu schwimmen. Wir hatten sehr viel Gluck mit dem Wetter, den das Wasser war klar und man konnte die Tiere sehr gut beobachten. Eine grosse Gruppe von Robben kam sofort zu uns und hat neugierig mit uns gespielt. Die Betreuung war super, so dass wir uns immer sicher gefuhlt haben . Es ist ein tolles Abenteuer. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team - Cornelia Bühne
