Customer Reviews

Great trip. Seals are amazing. Crew is well prepared and perfectly organized. Definitely a MUST ! Thanks for this extraordinary experience !! - Brandl Klaus-Dieter


Everyone was really kind and looked after our safety very well. We saw a lot of seals but the guides made it clear that their well-being was the most important thing which was good to hear. They looked after us the whole time and made sure we were ok. The reboarding was a little hectic, but all in all they made sure we had fun and stayed safe for the experience Thanks a lot. - Ina Seifert


It was the best experience of our live! Our guide Angelo was the perfect guide to go on this tour. Everything was perfect. Special thanks to the seals! ? - Tim van Eijsden


I was really impressed with all aspects of our seal experience. The quality of equipment and safety procedures as well as the experience and enthusiasm of the guide all contributed to a fantastic morning. I've already recommended to other visitors to Plettenberg - Mrs gillian armour


Really a great experience! - Sebastian Linder
