Plettenberg Bay, Dolphin & Marine Tours

Discover the captivating coastline of Plettenberg Bay and the Robberg Peninsula aboard a dolphin and marine life sighting boat tour. Marvel at an array of wildlife, including Bottlenose dolphins and the elusive Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphins, while also witnessing various shark species in their natural habitat.

Upon reaching the Marina in Plettenberg Bay, disembark and prepare for embarkation aboard the vessel. Before setting sail, ensure personal safety by donning life jackets (or ponchos, should they prove necessary). Upon boarding, commence the journey with a thrilling beach launch through the waves. Throughout the voyage, varying routes will unfold based on prevailing weather patterns, marine life distributions, and oceanic conditions. Typically, the itinerary commences with a passage eastward beyond the Bird Sanctuary, steering towards Keurbooms Beach and eventually approaching Arch Rock. During this segment, expect encounters with Bottlenose Dolphins and Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins, alongside various shark species. As you navigate across the bay, keep an eye out for pelagic seabirds typically located around 7 kilometers offshore. Be on the lookout for Bryde’s Whales and Common Dolphins, among other marine wildlife. Following the archway, proceed toward the Robberg Peninsula, where you might glimpse Whale Sharks or Pods of Dolphins. Upon exiting the peninsula, continue your exploration along the Robberg coastline, gaining insights into the geological formations and observing the thriving Cape Fur Seal colony. Occasionally, visitors can spot Great White Sharks within the vicinity during specific seasons. To conclude the expedition, return to Robberg Beach while listening to a concise overview of the historical significance of the region. Your final destination is the Beacon Island Hotel, situated atop an old whaling station site, where you'll land in a manner reminiscent of a James Bond film before concluding your adventure on Central Beach.
