Join Cape Town's premier Seal Snorkeling team at our cozy Snorkel Centre for an unparalleled marine adventure! Upon arrival, sign in, get fitted for equipment, and enjoy refreshments at our shop. Slip into your 5mm wetsuit after an informative briefing by our marine guides. A brief 2-minute drive in our vehicle takes you to Hout Bay Harbour, where the waiting boat and skipper await. Experience a boat safety briefing and spot seals in the harbor before a swift 10 to 15-minute ride to Duiker Island. Trained crew members provide an orientation, help gear you up, and guide you into the Atlantic. Spend 50 minutes snorkeling with Cape fur seals, marveling at their playful nature. Glide alongside these friendly creatures, observing their underwater world, as they curiously interact with you. Back on board, enjoy hot chocolate, water, and biscuits. Marvel at your experience, share photos, and prepare to head back. On return to the Snorkel Centre, have a quick hot shower and change before sharing your adventure over tea or coffee with guides. Relax in our lounge or garden, appreciating our conservation efforts. We take pride in disentangling seals, rescuing stranded seal pups, and collaborating in seal research and animal welfare. Your contribution toward the trip directly supports and sustains our ongoing conservation endeavors, ensuring the well-being of these incredible marine creatures.
