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!
Best tour ever! Such a great way to spend the morning. The seals are playful and cheer you up. Water was not as cold as I imagined with the suit. The crew was also the best! Thank you for such a beautiful experience! - Raluca Dima-Fantana
We had an absolutely brilliant experience with offshore adventures. Right from the start it was very well organised by guides who clearly care deeply about the environment they work in and respect the animals. Towards the end of the trip I started to feel a little unwell the guides looked after me very well and treated me with respect and understanding. We would highly recommend this company & activity. - Jeannette Ferneyhough
Offshore Adventures gave us a great time swimming with seals. Although my girlfriend didn't go into the water and I did, the weather was rainy, the water was relatively murky, we had a blast! Angelo was a fun host that made us feel comfortable in the water with the seals by explaining behaviour and setting clear guidelines / rules. The seals themselves were so funny, they're like puppies acting clownish and they come so close, looking at you like "wtf are you doing here". Flipping under water, floating upside down with the tailfins out of the water, playing with our fins. They are also very comfortable with us in the water and I never felt a threat. The boat trip was fun too, the beach launch and landing were spectacular! Even with a little bit less favourable weather, still book a tour with Offshore Adventures. Because hey, anyways, you need to "Get wet in Plett"?! - Melissa de Rijk
Very kind staff Great experience and lots of fun! - Zoelzer Carsten

Run the river with AfriCanyon, navigate through the river shallows, swim through natural tannin coloured fresh-water mountain pools, maneuver down water slides and abseil waterfalls as you dip down into the river gorge.

Wir hatten mit African Canyon Trip eine absolut fantastische Zeit und konnen das gesamte Team von Herzen weiterempfehlen! Ein riesiges Dankeschon geht an unsere uberragenden Guides Tebzzzzz und King Julian. Mit ihrem enormen Fachwissen, ihrer ansteckenden Lebensfreude, ihrem grossartigen Humor und ihrer tiefen Verwurzelung vor Ort haben sie den Tag zu einem absoluten Highlight gemacht. Das Canyoning selbst war einfach spektakular! Das Abseilen war zu jeder Zeit absolut sicher und professionell durchgeplant, sodass man sich jederzeit in den besten Handen gefuhlt hat -- und dabei hatten wir unglaublich viel Spass. Auch die Sprunge ins kuhle Nass waren ein echtes Adrenalin-Erlebnis, bei dem Sicherheit und der richtige Kick perfekt miteinander kombiniert wurden; es wurde immer darauf geachtet, dass alles absolut sicher ablauft. Danke fur diese unvergesslichen Erinnerungen, das Lachen und die tolle Betreuung. Wir kommen definitiv wieder! ?[?]?? - David Schmidt
We had a fabulous time with Warren & Julian as our guides. Although Sue & I are both in our sixties, we got through the canyonning. Tired but not exhausted. Some challenging jumps, abseiling & ziplining. Lots of flora & fauna to see. - James Gordon
Absolute blast! Our guides where wonderfull, clear about safety and extremely funny during the canyoning! Would absolute recommend 10/10 experience! - Thomas Pollet
The Africanyon trip was amazing! The team fit you with equipment then after a short walk in you are swimming through the canyon, abseiling and ziplining down waterfalls! The length of time of the trip does depend on the size of the group which could have been clearer on booking. The other important thing is knowing that you store your stuff in your car - as a backpacker I didnt have a car and so this was important! But the team were fab! - Kate
Very nice experience!! We were on a private trip in SA near the Plettenberg Bay. It was very cold that morning but we enjoyed the canyoning so much!! Our guides Puna and Julian were very good and we felt safe all the time. Really book this trip when you come to Plettenberg! - Febe Vanhaesebroeck
