Duiker Island, also known as ‘Seal Island,’ is a small, rocky outcrop measuring just 253 feet by 312 feet, located off the South African coast at Hout Bay, near Cape Town. This tiny island serves as both a seabird sanctuary and a haven for thousands of Cape fur seals. Visitors can observe the playful seals basking on the rocks or swimming in the surrounding waters, while seabirds nest and soar overhead, creating a vibrant and bustling natural habitat.
