Plettenberg Bay: Swim with the Seals｜South Africa

Sustainable, Natural Animal Encounter!
Get to Swim with Cape Fur Seals for 30 minutes in their natural environment with a qualified guide. The seals are inquisitive and gentle natured and our seal swim adventure is bound to be one of your most exciting experiences ever!
You will be met on arrival by our experienced seal guide who will sign you in & assist with fitting your snorkel gear (changing rooms & lockers are available on site). Once everyone has geared up, the group will take a short stroll on the beach to the boat where you will be given a briefing by the skipper and seal guide on boat procedures & the seal snorkeling experience, before embarking on a short boat ride to Robberg Nature Reserve & the Seal Colony (6000 - 8000 seals).
You will then get to jump into the water with your guide for an exhilarating 30 minute snorkel experience with the seals. On arrival back at ProDive, our facilities include changing rooms & showers where you can freshen up after your once-in-a-lifetime marine animal encounter.
Free photos are made available to you after the trip!

Rabies update:
We want to keep you informed about the recent rabies cases identified in seals. Our team is actively monitoring the situation in coordination with the Department of Environmental Affairs & Tourism, as well as Cape Nature who manage Robberg Nature Reserve. While the cases have been isolated, we’ve introduced additional safety measures to protect everyone.
To help manage the risk, we’ve implemented extra precautions by working together with the other operators & have experienced marine spotters keeping an eye out for any unusual seal behaviour.
During excursions, our guides carry first aid kits specifically for bite injuries & are always close by while you’re in the water, ready to assist immediately. The boat stays close to the group to pick up swimmers swiftly, if required. We have a 30 year impeccable safety record & our crew are always ready to react in any situation.
Our local trauma doctor is fully equipped to handle seal bite incidents & we have ensured that vaccines are readily available.
If you’re feeling unsure, you’re welcome to switch to a viewing trip instead—it’s just as fun & a great way to enjoy the experience from a different perspective. Whatever you choose, we’re here to make sure your adventure is both safe, enjoyable & memorable!
