  We were lucky to be in a group composed of only 3 people, which gave us plenty of opportunities to chat with Angelo, Brighton, Jean-Claude and Kruger. We got plenty of information on the seals that live by Robberg peninsula, but also on the other marine life species around the area. The experience of actually getting in the water with those curious, beautiful creatures was just amazing and I highly recommend it! I’ll be coming back for sure. Thanks a lot guys!

• Cute seals, but choose safety first

  We booked the tour to see the seals. The guide was professional and pleasant, and it was fantastic to observe the seals in their natural habitat. On our boat, there were two couples who went swimming with the seals, which also gave us a glimpse of their experience. At first, we regretted not choosing the swimming option ourselves, but after some reflection, our perspective changed. I am a medical doctor, and I would advise against swimming with the seals. While it must certainly be an incredible experience, there are confirmed cases of seals carrying rabies. These animals can be aggressive, and their bite can be fatal. This risk was not clearly explained to the swimmers by the guides, so I would like to share this warning here. If you want to see the seals, I recommend choosing the safer option and staying on the boat.

• Nice boat trip, but you better go swimming with the seals

  Great boat trip along robberg where we saw a lot of seals along the way. The boat “flies” in and out of the water and is an experience in itself. What we didn't know is that this is the same tour as the one where people go swimming with the seals. So you sail to the swimming spot and once there you float in the same spot for more than half an hour while the others dive out of your boat into the water. And then you go back. Eventually we found out in advance and we could arrange for the children to swim with the seals, which was a very nice experience for them.

• This is a tour for viewing people swimming with seals and not for viewing seals

  We booked a seal viewing tour but ended up in watching people swimming with seals as they combine viewing and swimming tours. Due to security reasons for the people in the water the boat had to stay at one place and we could not encounter people free seals or seals on land. Very disappointing - worst tour we ever booked. The tour also only started 30 min later but ended in time so it was very short. The boat does not have a ledder. Tour is not suitable for smaller kids or older people as said in their description.

• Great close up interaction with the seals

  Besides The tour starting half an hour late ( we were told to be there half an hour beforehand). - we stood around for very long. However the tour guide Angelo and Red were fabulous and we enjoyed the excursion and enjoyed the seals and got lots of information from Angelo and Red. Was awesome to see the seals from a different angle and so close up. The tour took one hour -

  We had an amazing experience seal viewing in Plettenberg Bay. Everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. Watching the seals in their natural environment was truly special – they amazed us with their acrobatics and playful nature. We highly recommend this experience to all nature and ocean lovers.

  Amazing opportunity to get up close to Cape Fur Seals. The whole experience was amazing. My friend just did the boat trip but I went in with the seals. Claude our guide was great - enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and even as a novice with a snorkel I felt very safe. It’s great that all the kit you need is provided, and to be able to download photos and videos for free is fantastic
