Enjoy a day out with Dolphin Adventures Sea Kayaking
Category Latest News
If you're in Plettenberg Bay and looking for something a little different, something that gets you out on the water, close to nature, and smiling from ear to ear, Dolphin Adventures Sea Kayaking should be at the top of your list. It's the perfect mix of chill and thrill, giving you a front-row seat to some of the most stunning marine life and coastal scenery the Garden Route has to offer.
So, what's it all about?
Dolphin Adventures is exactly what it sounds like: a guided sea kayaking experience where you paddle out from Central Beach and explore the pristine coastline of Plettenberg Bay. Whether you're an early riser or more of a mid-morning kind of person, they offer several departure times daily, depending on the weather and sea conditions.
The tour lasts about two hours, and trust us, those two hours go by in a flash when you're out there surrounded by sparkling ocean, mountain views, and the occasional pod of dolphins cruising by like it's just another Tuesday (which, for them, it probably is).
No experience? No problem
One of the best things about Dolphin Adventures is that you don't need to be an experienced kayaker to join in. The team gives a quick but thorough safety briefing before you hit the water, covering everything from paddling basics to what to do if you encounter marine life (hint: stay calm and enjoy the show).
The kayaks are stable, two-seater sit-on-tops, making them beginner-friendly and easy to handle, even for kids or slightly nervous first-timers. And you'll always be accompanied by an experienced guide, so there's no need to worry about drifting off into the Atlantic.
There's wildlife galore
This part of the coastline is rich with marine life, and every trip is different depending on the season and sea mood. On any given day, you might spot bottlenose or humpback dolphins, Cape fur seals, and if you're really lucky, a passing whale during migration season (June to November).
Above the waves, keep an eye out for African oystercatchers, cormorants, and other seabirds that make this area their home. And even if the animals decide to play coy that day, the views alone, cliffs, beaches, and that endless blue water, are worth the paddle.
What to bring
You don't need much to join a Dolphin Adventures trip, but here's a quick checklist to keep things comfy:
- Swimsuit or quick-drying clothes
- Hat and sunglasses (with a strap-trust us)
- Sunscreen
- Towel and change of clothes for afterwards
- Water bottle
They'll provide you with life jackets and dry bags for small items like phones or keys, and there's also a small office right on Central Beach where you can safely leave your things while you're out paddling.
Great for all types of parties
Whether you're travelling solo, on a romantic getaway, or bringing the kids along, this is one of those activities that fits just about everyone. It's active without being exhausting, adventurous without being extreme, and fun without any frills. Plus, it's a fantastic way to experience the beauty of Plett from a whole new angle, literally.
Dolphin Adventures operates year-round (weather permitting), and while walk-ins are sometimes possible, it's best to book ahead, especially during the peak holiday season. You can make a reservation online, via phone, or through your accommodation if they have a tourism desk.
Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get, and the team is super friendly and professional. They're also passionate about marine conservation, so expect a healthy dose of ocean wisdom along the way.
A fun-filled day for all
In a town already bursting with things to do, Dolphin Adventures Sea Kayaking manages to stand out in the best way. It's peaceful, it's playful, and it gives you that sense of connection to nature that's hard to beat.
So if you're in Plett and feel like swapping the beach towel for a paddle, grab your hat and sunscreen and head down to Central Beach. The dolphins are waiting.
