Trip to Seal island

የታተመ: 12.12.2021

Even before we started our trip, our captain saw a seal pup floating in the water. Our guides rescued it and took it to the Hout Bay - Rescue station in the harbor. They also told us that seals are born on land and cannot swim/dive for the first 4 months.

On the way to Seal island, we made a small detour to Backpacker Bay. There we saw dolphins in the sea for the first time. On the way to the island, we also encountered a sunfish. They are flat and swim upright. They can grow up to 3.3m long and weigh up to 2.3 tons.

The weather was perfect and we were really lucky to see so many animals.

When we arrived at Seal Island, we saw between 900-1000 seals on the island. Our tour guide told us that unfortunately many animals have died along the coast this year and researchers are now trying to find out why.

Our big highlight of the tour was this elephant seal. They are incredibly rare and mainly found in North America and Antarctica. Our guide said he had never been so close to them in the 7 years he has been doing this. If I had reached out my hand, I could have touched it.

We were lucky to get a private tour as we were the only ones booked on that day.

At the end of our tour, of course, seals were waiting for us here as well.
