Plettenberg Bay is fast becoming the top destination for boat based whale and dolphin watching. Due to the large number of whale and dolphin species found in the bay, the Centre for Dolphin Studies has recently been relocated from Port Elizabeth to Plettenberg Bay. Four species of whales can be seen throughout the year.

Besides the normal leisure activities such as golf, tennis, and horse riding, there are also a host of other activities available which include guided ferry trips up the Keurbooms River, birdwatching, walks on the Robberg Peninsula, visits to Monkey Land, mountain bike trails, bungee jumping, scuba diving and snorkelling.
