Dolphin Adventures, Plettenberg Bay

The excursion starts when you get kitted out in your rush vest, booties, wet suit shorts and life jacket (all equipment supplied). At the beach, select your brightly-coloured surf ski – a specific type of kayak used for ocean paddling. Specially designed, extra-stable boats are available for those who have never paddled before. Your guide will brief you on what to expect and give you a short safety talk. Then it’s over to you, as you drag your craft down to the water’s edge and climb in. The guides will launch you into the surf.

You’ll soon get the feel of paddling while traversing the swells. Mackerel and other small fish leap from the sea across the bows of your surf ski – occasionally they land inside. Dolphins soon join in, swimming around you and sometimes racing one another or leaping across the surface of the sea. Young seals may frolic beside your boat. Depending on the wind direction, you will either paddle out to see the seal colony at the base of the cliffs on Robberg Peninsula or head east, towards the Keurbooms River and lagoon. Take in amazing views of the town from the sea; at Keurbooms, enjoy vistas of rolling green hills inland.
