If you are fascinated by the ocean and love to snorkel, or simply want to have an awe-inspiring experience in South Africa, snorkelling the Great Africa Seaforest is a must-do when in Cape Town! The Great African Seaforest is the only forest of giant bamboo kelp on the planet, and is home to a bio-diverse abundance of other-wordly creatures that are rarely seen anywhere else!

To begin your snorkelling excursion in Cape Town, after you've met with your certified instructor at the dive centre you will be given a safety and technique briefing along with the snorkelling equipment. Then, the adventure begins! After a scenic boat ride out to the first snorkelling site, it is time to get in the water and explore the kelp forest! 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 in the currents coupled with the light streaming through between the gaps, you'll enjoy a magical experience snorkelling in Capetown!

For the second snorkel site of the day you will head to a coral reef. At the coral reef you will be greeted by the distinctive colours of the coral in this area, including purple, orange, brown, and various shades of pastel! Creatures that inhabit this locale include sponges, sea stars, sea fans, nudibranchs, and all kinds of fish! After the second snorkelling session, the boat will take you back to the dive centre to end your unforgettable adventure of snorkelling in Cape Town!

Book this snorkelling excursion in Cape Town for a unique way to experience the best of South Africa!
