Duiker Island

Duiker Island is located off the coast of Hout Bay, Cape Town. The island is home to Cape fur seals and various seabird species. Only by boat from Hout Bay Harbor is it possible to get here. The boat ride lasts for one hour. You will first travel from the island to the Karbonkelberg mountain range and then to Maori Bay, which is known for past shipwrecks.

You can also take a shorter version of the cruise, which departs from Hout Bay Harbor and proceeds straight to Duiker Island before going up Chapman's Peak for about 40 minutes. You may go to the Bay Harbor Market and the dock, which are both close by. Dungeons, located off the shore of Hout Bay, is a popular surfing area.

Local photographers love this jagged expanse of rock, which is home to seals, seabirds, and animals. Duiker Island's also a great alternative for wildlife fans who don't have time to go on safari. No wonder this is considered as one of the most beautiful islands in South Africa.
