The crew behind Swim With Seals
Swim With Seals is run by Offshore Adventures, the Plettenberg Bay skippers and guides who have been taking people to the Robberg colony for more than a decade.
Who we are
Offshore Adventures is a marine adventure operator based in the Central Beach car park in Plettenberg Bay. Seal swims and seal viewing trips at Robberg are what we do every day. In winter, the same crew runs sardine run expeditions on the Wild Coast.
We supply every guest with a wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins, put a guide in the water with every group, and launch seven days a week when the sea allows. We hold WESSA Blue Flag status for our boat operation, follow a code of conduct around the animals, support marine research and help fund seal rehabilitation.
This site exists to do one job well: explain the seal trips properly and make them easy to book. For everything else we do, visit offshoreadventures.co.za and sardineruntours.co.za.
