  Plettenberg Bay, Garden Route: Plettenberg Bay is
characterised by sweeping, unspoilt golden beaches, a dramatic rocky peninsula, intriguing
lagoons and estuaries, towering indigenous forests and unpolluted rivers and sea. More
than a village Plettenberg Bay is accessible by first class national roads, by sea or by
scheduled air flights. Plettenberg Bay is renowned for its teeming bird
life, vast expanses of Cape flora, its wetlands and lagoons, gigantic trees and a bay
large enough to harbour great whales.
Plettenberg Bay is characterised by sweeping, unspoilt golden beaches, a dramatic rocky
peninsula, intriguing lagoons and estuaries, towering indigenous forests and unpolluted
rivers and sea. With its exceptional climate, and beautiful view sites over the Indian
Ocean, Plettenberg Bay is perfect for tourists interested in exploring, watching or just
lazing.
Plettenberg
Bay justly lays claim to the title of the South African
Whale Watching Capital. The southern right whales can be seen for the whole season and
when they are getting ready to leave in early November, the humpback whales arrive with
their calves, and stay until the end of December or early January. A truly memorable
sight!
Plettenberg Bay is where the South
African dolphin and whale watching industry is said to be the most organized. There
are whale watching boat trips, dolphin-watching kayak trips and a number of aircraft from
which you can check out the whales from the air. Plettenberg Bay has made a vast effort to
promote a responsible boat-based whale and dolphin watching program. Viewing, distances
and time spent with each animal are strictly monitored so that there is minimal
interference. |
