Snorkeling the African Sea Forest – A Wild Ocean Adventure

This isn’t just a snorkel—it’s a journey through Cape Town’s rich history and marine wonders. We start with a scenic drive along the False Bay coast, passing Simon’s Town Naval Base and Kalk Bay’s historic harbor. Along the way, we’ll stop at Boulders Beach to meet the famous African penguins.

Then, we dive into the African Sea Forest, a hidden underwater world teeming with life. Glide through golden kelp as Cape fur seals play nearby, pajama sharks cruise below, and octopuses vanish into the rocky reefs.

After the dive, we’ll warm up with a seaside coffee while taking in the stunning bay views before cruising back along the storied coastline.

No crowds, no rush—just raw nature, rich history, and an unforgettable ocean experience.
