Whale Watching Plettenberg Bay
Plettenberg Bay has the possibility of sighting whales throughout the year thanks to our resident Brydes Whales. The official whale watching season runs from July to November and this is the best time of the year to go whale watching and view Southern Right and Humpback Whales.
The best time to view dolphins in Plettenberg Bay is the summer months although we do sight dolphins during the winter months too. We have 3 types of dolphins visiting our coast: Bottlenose, Humpback and Common dolphins.
Besides whales and dolphins, Plettenberg Bay has an ever-growing Cape Fur Seal poplation on Robberg Peninsula where these little creatures entertain our guests with their cute antics.
Our bay is full of surprises and we never know from trip to trip what marine animal may pop in for a visit. We have had sightings of turtles, penguins, sunfish, Orca's ("Killer Whales"), Cape Clawless Otters not to mention the array of pelagic birds (seabirds).
