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!

It was a great experience to swim with the seals. Everything was perfect from safety instructions to equipment. Safety first was rule no. 1. Very nice guides and skipper. The ride with the boat at wonderful weather conditions was amazing. We got very close to the playing seals. That activity should be a "must do" on everyone's travel-agenda. - Wolfgang Colditz
