Seal Island is a tiny island which is densely populated by few thousand seals. We took a boat trips to Seal Island. The charge is only R38 (equivalent to RM16.50) and the whole journey took about 45 minutes. Thousands of Cape Fur Seals inhabit in Seal Island. According to the tour guide, the Fur Seals are named because they have very thick pelts, unlike true seals which only have a thin covering of hair. Seals prefer breeding on rocky ground, hence we can see the abundance of seals on this island. Due to good visibility, so we are able to get a first hand view of the kelp forests and sea life. And also the powerful engines enable to bring the vessel within meters of the island, for really close up views of the Cape Fur Seals in their natural environment. And of course also easy for photo taking lor.
