Experience the Magic of Cape Fur Seals – Up Close and Unforgettable

Your adventure begins the moment you step aboard for a thrilling boat ride to the iconic Robberg Nature Reserve, home to an energetic colony of 6 000 to 8 000 Cape Fur Seals. As the coastline slips into the distance, excitement builds for the wildlife encounter ahead.

Once you arrive, the ocean becomes your playground. Slip into the water and enter an underwater world alive with movement and wonder. Sleek, curious seals glide past in a blur of motion, twisting, turning, and spiralling with effortless agility. They somersault through the water, dart around you with wide-eyed curiosity, and turn every moment into a breathtaking show. Swimming with these playful marine mammals in their natural environment is not only awe-inspiring – it’s completely sustainable and non-invasive, allowing you to connect with them in the most respectful and authentic way.

Prefer to stay dry? Seal Viewing trips are perfect for guests who want the magic without getting in the water. From the comfort of the boat, you’ll have a front-row seat to watch the seals splash, dive, and interact with the colony. It’s an ideal option for families, photographers, or anyone who loves marine wildlife.

Your crew is a team of passionate ocean enthusiasts who are dedicated to your safety and enjoyment. With a full safety briefing from your experienced skipper and knowledgeable seal guide, you'll feel confident and relaxed before entering the water or settling in for the viewing experience.

After the excursion, enjoy the convenience of 5-star facilities at the iconic Beacon Island Hotel, right on the beach. Hot showers, changing rooms, and secure lockers keep the experience hassle-free from start to finish.

And to top it off, you’ll receive complimentary action photos of your encounter – the perfect way to relive the adventure and share the magic with others.
