What you can expect

  • Begin your adventure with a warm welcome from qualified marine guides and skippers. Receive a thorough safety and environmental briefing before launching through the surf into the bay.

    Cruise along the scenic coastline near the Robberg Peninsula and Marine Protected Area. Learn about the bay’s rich biodiversity, migration patterns of southern right and humpback whales (seasonal), Cape fur seal colonies, and the importance of marine conservation.

    Observe dolphins, whales, seals, and seabirds at legally prescribed distances. Rather than chasing or surrounding animals, your skipper will position the vessel calmly and predictably, allowing marine life, such as bottlenose, common, or Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, to approach on their own terms.

    Throughout the 1.5–2-hour excursion, witness playful dolphin pods riding the bow wave, seabirds diving for fish, and, in season, whales breaching in the distance, all without disturbing their natural environment.

    Conclude your tour back on shore with a deeper appreciation for Plettenberg Bay’s marine heritage and the knowledge that the experience was conducted ethically and responsibly.
