About this experience
Duiker Island Seal Sightseeing Cruise This 45-minute boat cruise takes you from Hout Bay harbour to Duiker Island, home to thousands of Cape fur seals. You'll watch these playful marine mammals in their natural habitat as they bask on the rocks, dive into the clear waters, and interact with each other just metres from your boat. The cruise offers spectacular coastal views of Chapman's Peak Drive and Sentinel Mountain while you sail through the waters around the Cape Peninsula. During whale season, you might spot migrating whales or dolphins surfacing nearby, making each trip unique depending on what wildlife decides to show up. What is Included 45-minute sightseeing boat trip to Duiker Island Good to Know The cruise lasts approximately 45 minutes and departs from Hout Bay harbour. The vessel is not wheelchair accessible, and outside food or drinks are not permitted on board. Tours operate several times daily, weather permitting. Dress in layers to adjust to sea conditions and bring sunscreen and a hat for sunny days. Arrive at the departure point with time to spare before your scheduled cruise, as safety considerations may affect departure times based on sea conditions. Cape Town's marine wildlife extends beyond seal watching. If you're interested in exploring more of the peninsula's natural attractions, consider the Cape Point and penguin colony day tour to see African penguins at Boulders Beach. For those who prefer land-based wildlife experiences, the Table Mountain cable car offers panoramic views over the entire Cape Peninsula coastline.
