Useful Information Check out this Elephant Seal in Plettenberg Bay!For months now, “Solo,” a massive Elephant Seal, has been spotted lounging with the Cape Fur seal colony on Robberg Peninsula. He delights our guests by either relaxing on the rocks or playfully splashing in the water. Elephant seals are named for the males’ unique, trunk-like snout, which they use to make loud roars, particularly during breeding season. These marine giants can weigh up to 3.6 tons and mostly feed on squid, fish, and other sea creatures. Come join us on an unforgettable seal tour and witness the majesty of “Solo” yourself!
