Discover South Africa's amazing kelp forests and its diverse marine life on this unique adventure snorkelling in Cape Town! All levels of experience are welcome.

Kelp forests are recognized as one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on Earth. In addition, this incredible plant can grow up to 30 meters long (98 feet), so you'll truly feel like you're in an underwater forest while snorkelling in Cape Town.

After you've met with your certified instructor, you will be given a safety and technique briefing along with the snorkelling equipment. Then, the adventure begins! You'll explore this underwater kingdom with ease. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled because you may encounter penguins, small sharks, various schools of fish, octopi, and other sea creatures! With the kelp moving from side to side with the currents coupled with the light streaming through between the gaps, you'll enjoy an almost magical experience snorkelling in Capetown!

For an unforgettable adventure in Cape Town, don't miss this unique seal and kelp forest snorkelling excursion!
