car park in Hopwood Street, Plettenberg Bay, 30min before departure, where guests sign in and are
equipped with all the necessities for the excursion. After all the

a fully qualified dive master for 30 minutes, packed with fun and inquisitive
furry seals!
The whole trip lasts about 1hour to an 1hour and a half.
A most do for the whole family!!

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!

What a wonderful experience at Africanyon! Great fun, great guides in Julian and Tebzzzz! Felt so safe, well looked after, and supported in every way. They encourage and support when one is moving out of one's comfort zone and experiencing new things. Your guides were also exceptional with the children we had in our group. Thank you! You will be a recommendation to all by me! - H A Goldberg
Was very good and everything felt safe. As I travelled out of season I had a private tour, wich was very nice. I still felt very welcome. If it's in season you should be prepared for longer waiting times at a few spots during the tour - Nadine Grabowski
Had a wonderful experience. All equipment provided and great staff. The kloofing is well prepared and well looked after. Adventure is definitely what you will get. Listen to your guides as this is an adventure for you to have fun but more importantly to stay SAFE!
