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!

Customer Reviews

It was a great family experience. The guide explained things clearly before hand when kitting up. The boat launch was fun and we were soon speeding accross the bay towards the seal colony. Again the guide explained how to behave around the seals before getting into the water and looked after me and my daughter when in with them. He kept a constant look out for any dangers and filmed us with the seals who were very curious and playful. After about 20 mins we got back in the boat and sped back accross the bay to land at speed back onto the beach again. Great fun and a wonderful experience. Hot showers when we got back to the centre. Later we were sent a link to the video, which I bought. Thanks again - Fraser Coleman

Customer Reviews

It was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Lollie, was very good and made us feel safe, especially with the crossing over the stones. This was our second Segway tour, and we will be back for more soon. - Linda Koen


What an absolutely amazing experience with SEGWAY Tours Tsitsikamma! ? We celebrated my daughter's 12th birthday there, and it was an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, and our tour guide was absolutely exceptional. When one of the moms in our group had a fall, the guide responded immediately with such professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. They ensured she was comfortable, safe, and looked after every step of the way. That level of compassion truly stood out and gave everyone in our group complete peace of mind. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday so special and for going above and beyond to ensure everyone had a wonderful and safe experience. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend SEGWAY Tours Tsitsikamma to anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and professionally run adventure. ?[?]?[?]?[?]?[?]?[?] - Elize Everton


Most amazing experience. We had so much fun and learnt some interesting facts about the area! Our guide Sissie was just fantastic. We had our 6 year old son with us and she stuck with him the whole way and helped him when needed, she's an absolute pro! - Kate Nel


A wonderful Segway experience through the village and the Tsitsikamma forest, excellently led by our guide Madom. - Andrew Lloyd
