This incredible site allows you to observe these magnificent creatures both in the water and on the rocks. You'll be amazed by their grace and beauty.

Get in

To access this site, divers must embark on an exciting boat journey of approximately 4km from Hout Bay harbor. However, caution must be taken as the anchorage may not be ideal due to the risk of getting tangled in the boulders and dense kelp forests. Most diving activities take place in the enchanting kelp forests to the northwest of the islet, away from the busy channel frequented by boat traffic. Additionally, it provides a safer environment for larger tourist boats to navigate without obstacles while divers are exploring the underwater wonders.
