Dolphin watching excursions in Plettenberg Bay

The Ecological adventure leaves from Central Beach with an exciting beach launch and heads east past the bird sanctuary and Keurbooms beach to Arch Rock.

There you usually encounter Bottlenose and the rare Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphins, as well as some shark species.

From Arch Rock you will head into the middle of the Bay where pelagic seabirds are normally to be found some 7km from the shore. Out there, you might see the resident Bryde’s whales, as well as Common dolphins or Southern Right and Humpback whales during their season.

You will then cross the Bay up to Robberg Peninsula and out to the Wild side, often seeing groups of whales and pods of dolphins.
Cruising back along the inside of Robberg, we see the unique geology from this unusual viewpoint and can observe our growing Cape Fur Seal Colony.

In the end, you will head back along the Robberg beach, while listening to a brief rundown on the history of the area. After passing by the Beacon Island Hotel, built on the site of an original Whaling Station, the tour ends with an exhilarating landing, again on Central Beach.

Do wear warm clothes and a wind breaker as it gets chilly out in the ocean.
