DIVING WITH SEALS IN CAPE TOWN

THINK ADVENTURE THINK CAPE TOWN

Think “adventure in Cape Town” and your first thoughts will probably be along the lines of shark cage diving, hiking up Table Mountain and kite surfing in Blouberg. Now, along with a helicopter flip around the Atlantic, there’s a new activity to add to your adventure bucket list – diving with seals.

Just 20 minutes out of the Cape Town city bowl, in the quaint harbour town of Hout Bay, you’ll find Animal Ocean’s boat, ready and waiting to take you just offshore to Seal Island (or Duiker Island), home to a colony of close to 7000 Cape Fur Seals.

SAY HELLO TO NATURE

On arrival, you’ll be given a head-to-toe wetsuit to keep out the icy water before an informative safety briefing from Steve. Then it’s onto the boat for a fun 5-minute ride out to the island. Thousands of Cape Fur Seals frolic in the waves around the island, safe in the knowledge that great whites stay away from the icy shallows.
