Activity Description

1 of the TOP 10 Cape Town Outdoor Experiences.

Let Seal Snorkeling Cape Town take you on a once in a lifetime Cape Town adventure to snorkel with the Cape Fur seal in their natural environment.

Snorkeling is a fantastic way to observe our beautiful underwater life without all the extensive training and complicated equipment required for scuba diving.

We will provide the wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins as well as a short training session to make sure you are comfortable with the mask and snorkel.

Not keen to get in the water but would like to come and watch your friends and family snorkel? You’re more than welcome to join on the boat at an additional R600 per person.

Customer Reviews

A fantastic experience! Our guides Sebastian and Chadley were great, took very good care of us and made sure we had the best time. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins on our way back in and the boat skipper made sure we had the best possible view of them. - Barbara


What an enjoyable afternoon! This was well managed. Assistants were wonderfully helpful and attentive to participants. I had both my son and daughter joining my husband and me; when my son floated off without a parent in tow, he was carefully monitored by the assistant. The treat of hot chocolate onboard when returning to the harbour after the snorkel was especially welcomed! - Annwyn


Amazing experience, one of the best ever ! You really swim very close to the seals, they look at you, are curious, and make the show. The wetsuits are very thick so we were not cold. Perfect ! - Aurélie


What an incredible experience!!! The guides were phenomenal and living in CT I would take any friend visiting CT there again. - Ian


We had a lovely experience, all the staff were great and super helpful! The sea puppies were amazing and we loved swimming with them. Definitely choose a sunny day for thus excursion, since the water tends to get a bit cold. Next up - Kayaking! - Mone
