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!
It was such an amazing and special experience! The Tour guides are great and we had a lot of fun on our trip :) - Isabel Drexel-Podlich

It was a great experience to swim with the seals. Everything was perfect from safety instructions to equipment. Safety first was rule no. 1. Very nice guides and skipper. The ride with the boat at wonderful weather conditions was amazing. We got very close to the playing seals. That activity should be a "must do" on everyone's travel-agenda. - Wolfgang Colditz

Great canyoning tour. I booked the longer 2,5 h group tour at 9 o'clock in the morning and also if I was the only person which was there the tour with two guids started. Puna and Darren are two top guids. Friendly, professionel, funny and they told you what is to do so it's also safe. It's a realy nice experience which I wouldn't like to miss. Also as there was a problem to get the pictures/link of the tour the support was very good. The only point which was a littlebit confusing were the different ranges of time (Tripadvisor 2h and 4h, Get our Guide 2h and 2,5 h). Probably the time of the tour depends more on the number of people in the group. - Christopher Schäfer
Nice Canyoning Tour by Tabzzzzz and Julien, they are the best guides! Always took care of every step that we did in the canyon and the safety in general. Nice mix of ziplining or even lowering down in die canyon on a rope. - Langer Mann
Great activity with Puna and Darren highly recommend fun and extremely safe. Thank u both love SA ?? and our canyoning abseiling and zip wire trip xx - Suzy and Richard
We had a very nice canyoning together with Warren and Darren. We also had a good talk, so we were able to learn more about some things that had occured in the canyon itself. We enjoyed it a lot! For me it was my second time already and I'm definitely considering to come back for a 3th time. See you! - Gilles Verroonen
We had a great afternoon with Africanyon. Warren and Darren were great instructors - they made us feel very safe whilst also maximising fun and enjoyment - Laura Hancox
