Close Encounter Whale Watching

See whales, up close, in their natural habitat.

Spend 2-hours on Plettenberg Bay, getting as close as 50m from Bryde's, southern right and humpback whales. The bay is also home to many different types of sea-life ranging from dolphins to fur seals.

Up Close and Personal Whale Watching
- Itinerary
  The tour leaves from Central Beach and heads towards Arch Rock where there are often sightings of bottlenose dolphins and various shark species. Then head out into the middle of the bay and see Bryde's, southern right and humpback whales, along with common dolphins. From there you move to the point of the Robberg Peninsula, and out to the Wild side where you might see larger groups of whales and pods of dolphins.
  
  Before starting the journey back you'll make a turn along the inside of Robberg and past the growing Cape fur seal colony. The guide entertains you with a brief overview of the area on the way back to Central Beach.
