Private Guided Snorkel Beach Cultural Fish and Sushi Picnic

3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

This elevated coastal experience blends snorkeling the African Sea Forest with a sophisticated tasting of Cape fisherman cuisine — including a bespoke fisherman-style sushi selection crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It’s a luxury twist on true coastal heritage, wrapped in adventure. Once at our snorkel site, you’ll slip beneath the surface and glide into the ethereal African Sea Forest — one of the world’s most magical underwater realms.

Kelp fronds sway like underwater curtains. Cape fur seals drift in with playful curiosity. Pajama sharks move with quiet confidence. Octopus, reef fish, and shysharks reveal their world in slow, mesmerizing motion. This is nature unfiltered — an underwater wilderness that humbles and energizes all at once.

After resurfacing, we shift into slow-living coastal mode. You’ll join me at a peaceful shoreline where a premium fisherman-style sushi and traditional seafood picnic awaits.
