Ocean Encounters

The thought of interacting with dolphins in the open sea is an experience that people describe as extraordinary, surreal and even life-changing. Pods of dolphins regularly approach bathers and Kayakers in the shelter of Plettenberg Bay.

During your visit to South Africa you will find several locations in which to join this privileged group of people; there are also opportunities to get up close and personal with other sea mammals such as sea lions not to mention the fascinating fish life.

You may not be close enough to reach them with your hand but a sighting of a whale will most definitely touch your heart! And there are even locations on the mainland from where you will be virtually guaranteed a sighting such as Diever’s Point in Hermanus.
