Seal Viewing (ProDive)

Plettenberg Bay

Activity Description

For those of you in the family who do not wish to snorkel but do not want to miss out on this exciting boat ride out to the beautiful Robberg Nature Reserve to view the seals, you can accompany your family & friends on our boat.

You will be met on arrival at the dive centre to sign in before taking a short stroll on the beach to the boat & experience a true Plett-style beach launch. Once out at Robberg you will be able to observe a variety of Nature in & out of the water, including the largest flock of Cape Cormorants & the ever so elegant Cape Gannet, not forgetting our amazing Cape Sea Fur Seals interacting with the snorkelers.

Customer Reviews

Our seal viewing experience with Pro Drive was absolutely unforgettable, and scuba instructor Shirley truly made it exceptional. From the start, everything was well organized and felt safe and professional. Shirley's knowledge of the local marine life and her calm, enthusiastic approach put everyone at ease and made the experience even more enjoyable. Seeing the seals up close in their natural environment was incredible, and Shirley shared fascinating insights throughout that made the trip both fun and educational. - Shital


We experienced a wonderful and professionally guided boat trip to Robben Island. The tour began with a challenging passage over the swell on the beach, which was particularly high that day. - Maximilian


The activity was well organized from the beginning with clear directions. The boat and the equipment were in good conditions. Last but not least, the monitor was very kind, gave us directions from the beginning and took us many photos. - Jesus
