Plett Ocean festival 2025

All you need to know about the Plett Ocean Festival

Unpacked: Events, must-try activities and where to stay & eat

Last updated: Wednesday, 4 June 2025 

Plett Ocean Festival is for anyone with a geek fascination for oceans and wildlife. Beach people, surfers, divers, birders, and adventurous kayakers. It’s for families, too, or anyone who simply wants to watch dolphins or whales (they migrate in July). This time of year, the bay is sunny yet cool, and there will be tons of kids’ activities. 

It’s happening from Friday, 4 July to Sunday, 13 July 2025. We unpack all you need to know about it.

WHY PLETT IN WINTER?

In July, the average temperature is 17 °C, the skies are clear, and with fewer visitors, there is more opportunity to enjoy Plett’s treasures.
