Snorkeling in Cape Town
Jump into Cape Town’s magical ocean with us and discover a colourful wonderland. The Great African Kelp Forest is 1 of 9 sea forests globally and the only one in Africa. Teeming with colour and life, there is no place quite like it. We will explore the kelp forest and possibly encounter schools of fish, seals, penguins, small sharks, octopus and curious sea creatures.
Equipment Provided
All gear is provided to ensure that you feel as warm, ready and comfortable as possible. We will also have a safety surface buoy with us during the snorkel to hold on to and store any items. Bring your swim wear, towel, sunscreen and an underwater camera if you have one. We will take care of the rest.
Experienced Guides
Our snorkel experiences are led by ocean-loving certified freedivers and instructors who have gained vast insights and understanding of the fauna and flora that make our ocean unique. Let us guide you through the kelp and share many of its secrets with you.
