Snorkeling is a great way to observe our beautiful underwater life as it allows you to get up close to hundreds of Cape Fur seals which occur naturally on islands around the southern African coast and are found nowhere else in the world!

Seal Snorkelers can always see seals in the water and there are no sharks present. This is a wildlife adventure that brings you mask-to-whisker with playful and inquisitive wild animals in their natural habitat

The snorkeling team of passionate marine guides are excited to share the beauty of the ocean with you.
