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!

A really cool activity. It was also very exclusive because few people do this in winter. The four of us and our two guides, Steph and Julian, were there. It was a beautiful location. We were given two wetsuits to protect us from the cold. Steph and Julian knew what they were doing; it was a very safe trip, and they clearly knew what they were doing. There was also a lot of laughter. A truly fantastic experience. - Tom Beuselinck

Thank you so much Puna and King Julian!! You made our Canyoning trip so incredibly enjoyable. We were the only people on the trip owing to it being winter and a bit colder but they didn't cancel and they kept the fun going throughout whilst making sure we were always safe. It was one of the highlights of our holiday. Thank you Africanyon! - Eleanor
