Explore the Great African Sea Forest on our snorkeling experience and immerse yourself in the magical world beneath the kelp. Our kelp forests are teeming with colour and life. There is no place quite like it. Our highly experienced guides will introduce you to the creatures living in our kelp forests during their initial briefing. They will also help you get fitted with the high-quality snorkeling equipment which we provide, to make sure that this experience is warm and enjoyable. The easy shore entries make our snorkeling experience suitable for most ages and does not require you to be a skilled swimmer. Each guide has a safety buoy with them in the water which less confident snorkelers can hold on to.
