Watch dolphins, Cape fur seals and marine life from a boat
Plettenberg Bay, South Africa
Dolphins, Cape fur seals and more: this boat tour shows you life in the sea between Robberg and the open ocean – lively, playful, wild.
Ce que tu peux vivre ici
When the great whales have moved on, a different ocean story begins off Plettenberg Bay – full of movement, lightness and life. From December to May, boat trips run along the coast and out to sea, where with a bit of luck you can watch three different dolphin species: common bottlenose dolphins and humpback dolphins close to the shore, and common dolphins further out on the open water.
The tour starts at Central Beach and first follows the coastline to the north-east – always with an eye on the moving backs in the surf. Further out you glide over the open sea, where Bryde's whales sometimes appear – shy but fascinating. Along the way seabirds cross the sky, and a highlight awaits at the end: the Cape fur seal colony on the Robberg peninsula. Dozens of animals lie on the rocks, dive in, call out, splash about – a lively spectacle right in front of you.
The trip lasts around two hours and is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the smaller, but no less impressive, inhabitants of the ocean – in all their dynamism and playfulness and surrounded by one of the most beautiful coastlines in South Africa.

Ce que les autres disent de Ocean Blue Adventures
In many reports the mood is very positive: travellers enjoy impressive wildlife sightings, praise the cheerful, informative guides and feel professionally looked after with the briefing, life jackets and boats. Many find the fast rides an extra thrill.
Experiences differ when it comes to how things run. For many, everything seems well organised, while others report delayed departures, technical problems, shortened tours or a very full speedboat with limited views. When things go wrong, some feel the price is rather high for what they get or that the swell is too rough.
Several travellers were surprised by how strongly they felt the waves and speed and how quickly beach launches and landings happen; seasickness does occur. Others would have liked it to be clearer beforehand that sightings are a matter of luck. The township tour is experienced as respectful and friendly.
