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!

Such a wonderful trip out in the ocean to see and swim with the seals! Would 100% recommend! The staff was lovely and very informative, and very helpful and fun as well. Can't wait to do this again with their team. - Gigi Sukumar
This experience was absolutely amazing! Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The team provided wetsuits and additional protective gear, which made the whole trip feel safe and comfortable. Swimming alongside the seals was truly unforgettable. Being so close to these playful animals in their natural environment is something I will remember forever. It's a unique and incredible experience that I believe everyone should try at least once. Highly recommended! - Alena Artemyeva

The 2 hour boat adventure starts and ends with an adrenaline beach launch into the sea, with 600 hp motors, we will take you to some of the best spots along the coastline. Our purpose built cat style boat has been designed to conquer the ocean without compromising on safety or comfort. Our official permit allows us to take you as close as 50m from a whale when sighted. Other sightings include seals, pelagic birds as well as sharks, big fish, penguins and octopus in their natural habitat.
This is an experience of a lifetime

Nice outing, a bit late in season, therefore not much to see. Think you should shorten Wale watching to end by october. Restrict outing to 20 perons per Boot max and do not take Kids under the age of 10. - Peter Schreier
Thank you we really enjoyed our time with the guides. He was entertaining and knowledgeable. New were to take us to get good access to see the dolphins, seals and yes a mother and her baby whale feeding We mostly done videos so no pics to share - Alaison Kenny
Great experience with very motivated and experienced staff - Nina leys
Excellent, an awesome experience, seen whale with its baby and the guys who took us out made it an unforgettable experience. Thanks again!!!!! - Lente Smit
Great tour and a really great tour guide. Unfortunately we made the tour in the middle of November, which means end of the whale season, which is why we did not see any whales. But that can happen and before the tour started we were informed, that no whales had been seen in the morning and it can be, that we will not see any during the tour. Because of that we were given the chance to reschedule, which in itself deserves a five star review. But also we did not see any whales, the dolphins and seals more than compensated for that loss. - Sebastian Krell
