PLETTENBERG BAY CELEBRATES NEW-FOUND STATUS AS WHALE HERITAGE SITE
Plettenberg Bay, renowned for its breathtaking coastal beauty, has achieved a remarkable milestone that has captured the attention of the world. We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Plettenberg Bay has been officially designated as a Whale Heritage Site, solidifying its reputation as a sanctuary for marine life and sustainable tourism. This prestigious accolade places Plettenberg Bay among the elite ranks of only three such sites in South Africa and a mere seven worldwide.
Nestled between the Marine Protected Areas of Tsitsikamma and Robberg along the iconic Garden Route, Plettenberg Bay boasts an unparalleled ecosystem that supports a diverse array of oceanic treasures. From the majestic Humpback Whales and awe-inspiring Southern Right Whales to the elusive Bryde’s Whales, enigmatic Killer Whales (Orcas), and enchanting Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, our bay is a haven for these iconic species. Of special significance is the Southern Right Whale, which finds solace in these waters as a prominent resident.
Melissa Theron, our General Manager at The Plettenberg, expresses her immense pride in Plettenberg Bay’s newfound status as a Whale Heritage Site. This recognition not only underscores our commitment to nurturing marine culture, heritage, and biodiversity but also signifies our dedication to responsible and sustainable marine tourism practices.
At The Plettenberg, we have seen an increase in guest interest in experiencing whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. From the comfort of their rooms, the inviting pool decks, or the scenic restaurant terrace, our guests savor the privilege of dolphin and whale watching right from the heart of our hotel.
One cherished tradition that has flourished is the ringing of our brass whale-watching bell. As our guests enthusiastically spot marine sightings offshore, they revel in being the first to sound the bell, a symbol of shared excitement for the beauty of marine life.
