Circe Launches Seal Island Cruise

Sail with the original ‘Seal Island’ cruise operator from Hout Bay to the magnificent Duiker Island. Duiker Island is home to a colony of thousands of Cape fur seals that you can view up close on this tour. Circe Launches’ qualified and experienced crew enable visitors to get within just feet of the island, allowing for intimate views of the seals in their natural habitat. The island, located in Hout Bay just outside of Cape Town, is beaming with life including hundreds of seabirds, as well as magnificent kelp forests indigenous to the region.

Discover Duiker Island's thriving seal colony aboard South Africa's only glass-bottomed passenger boat.

Circe Launches is the only cruise line that offers a glass-bottomed boat for viewing underwater marine life. The cruise lasts approximately 40 minutes. Guests should remember a camera to snap close-up pictures of the bird and the seals playing and jumping near the boat.

Once aboard check out the view of the harbour and surrounding mountains from the upper deck. Also, keep an eye open for whales and dolphins – they are easier to spot from a higher vantage point.
