Guests report to the Offshore Adventures Office, located in the Central Beach
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
formalities, the boat departs from the central beach to the Robberg Peninsula,
home to approximately 8000 seals, where guests jump into the water with
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!!
(Seal Viewing Guests join the trip but stay in the boat instead of venturing into the waters – Book Seal Viewing)

Please report 30 minutes before departure time.
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!

We really enjoyed our experience with Waren and Puna. Very professional and clear guidance. Thanks! - Anya Elisabeth Benskn
We had such an amazing experience with our lovely guides Tebz and Julien. They provided lots of laughs and reassurance as we enjoyed the canyoning, cliff jumping, abseiling and zip-lining. Definitely recommend! - Cayley Mitchell
This is truly one of the most fantastic experiences we have had. The staff are warm and friendly, highly efficient and professional, great sense of humor. The activities were challenging but so so worth it. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. Its a must do activity whenever you are in the garden route. - Heinrich and Margy Karsten
Hi there Well, it was the highlight of our Knysna holiday for sure. I am 62 and my partner 81 (Although very young ones!) and after I read the disclaimer/indemnity form I very nearly cancelled the trip as it sounded terrifying and I was sure to be injured! So pleased we decided to go ahead. So lucky for us, it was just the two of us on the trip that day. It gave us such personal attention. We had Grant and Warren as our guides. I honestly cannot say enough good about them. We just had such a fantastic day. I was scared a few times, but I trusted them completely and when they said jump, I did :-). The canyon itself is so beautiful. I could probably do the trip again just to experience it without the initial fear! Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful experience. I called twice and the lady/ladies who answered were helpful and pleasant when we arrived. The booking was also easy to do. - Eden Stanich
It was an outstanding experience and recommend it highly. My kids and I felt safe the whole journey. - Richard Rayne
