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!
This was an experience of a lifetime. The activity started with a thorough health and safety briefing. We were given kit for the swim which was in good order. The boat ride to the activity was about 15 minutes., and was great fun. The guide was really knowledgeable about the seals. We learned so much. Once in the water we were kept very safe. The guide really cared for the seals, and made sure we totally respected their space. No contact or swimming off alone. He took really good photos and videos of us all. It was just wonderful to swim with these beautiful animals, we could clearly see them under water swimming in their natural habitat. There was so many but we all respected boundaries stayed calm and quiet so you felt at one with nature. The captain and the guide got us safely back on the boat, and we had a fun ride back. The staff were so kind as they were with people with a range of abilities, they made sure everyone had the best time. This is a must do activity. - Jacqueline Leaver

We had a wonderful adventure with Tebzzz and King Julien. They helped our kids (and my wife) navigate some of the adventure parts! It was incredibly safe from start to finish. I would highly recommend journeying with Africanyon if you are in the area! - Daryl Kroeker
It was fun and a nice experience! Thank you guys! - Annika Bumm
Very nice and good organized trip - Deceuninck Gino
I had an absolutely amazing experience at AfriCanyon ???Every activity was exciting, well-organised, and pushed me just enough out of my comfort zone in the best way possible?. The guides were professional, friendly, and made safety a top priority while still keeping the experience fun and adventurous????. The scenery was breathtaking and made the whole adventure even more special?. I honestly had such a great time and would highly recommend AfriCanyon to anyone looking for adrenaline, fun, and unforgettable memories. I can't wait to come back again?? - Nhlakanipho Sibisi
????? Absolute Empfehlung! Die Canyoning-Tour mit Puna und Julien war einfach grossartig. Beide Guides waren extrem hilfsbereit, super freundlich und haben uns jederzeit ein sicheres Gefuhl gegeben. Die Tour selbst bietet ordentlich Adrenalin -- vor allem fur alle, die Klippenspringen lieben, ein echtes Highlight! Besonders lucky: Wir hatten das Gluck, eine private Tour nur zu zweit zu bekommen, was das Erlebnis noch intensiver und personlicher gemacht hat. Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer, das wir jederzeit wieder machen wurden! - Anja
