Guided Segway Tours - Forest Adventure - Family Fun

Activity Description

Plett Seal Adventures offers you a 1,5-hour guided Seal Swimming trip in the Robberg nature reserve – a marine protected area in Plettenberg Bay. A fun outdoor activity for the whole family, where no experience is needed.

We meet 30 minutes before departure at our office, located at the bottom of Meeding street, Hobie beach parking area, next to the showers. All equipment needed is supplied.

An exciting 20-minute boat ride takes you to the colony where over 6000 fur seals are waiting for you. Time to jump in and have some fun with these playful and very curios creatures. The guides are with you in the water during the entire experience, making sure you are having a great time. The swim lasts 20 – 30 minutes and then a scenic, fun ride back to the beach for a shower. The guides are taking photo’s off the trip, that you can download for FREE at our website.

What about Rabies:

There has been a few cases of rabies in the South African seal population, and even a few cases here in Plett.
Though it appears to be more prevalent in the Cape area, we hand in hand with the Department of Environmental Affairs, Tourism and Cape nature are constantly monitoring the situation.
Before each trip our guides will inform all the guest of the current situation at the colony and what to expect.
We all work together from spotters to skippers and swimmers to make sure you have a safe experience with us.
In the unlikely event of a nibble or bite our local medi-clinic is fully stocked with all the necessary vaccines.
We always have very experienced guides in the water keeping an eye out for any strange Seal behavior. The boat is always close.
If on the day you don’t feel like swimming, you don’t have to you can also enjoy the seals with a viewing experience, and stay on the boat with the skipper.
Your safety is our main concern, so feel free to join us on a amazingly exiting seal experience.

Absolutely amazing experience, the guides are clear, friendly and funny! They are also very careful as to not disturb the seals and have a safe (but adrenaline loaded) landing back to the beach. Highly recommended tour for nature lovers and thrill seekers! - Eline
