South Africa · SNORKELING
Every South African trip has one free day too few. These 3 snorkelling trips justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get on with the rest of it.
Meet your English or Dutch-speaking instructor at Cape Vidal’s marine office for a safety briefing, gear fitting, and 1 to 1.5 hours in the water. Look for roughly 50 fish species, stingrays, octopus, and wreck remains, then warm up with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate.
“Every moment was Exceptional. Beautiful Experience. Worth the Drive.”
Meet Cape Town Freediving in Muizenberg for a safety briefing, quality snorkeling gear, and a guided shore entry at a weather-selected site, usually Windmill Beach near Simon’s Town. Guides point out kelp-forest life such as fish, octopus, shy sharks, sea stars, and anemones. Chris is one guide praised for his marine knowledge.
“It was my first time snorkelling. The people were very nice and always available to help. Overall, it was a lovely experience.”
Travel from St Lucia through iSimangaliso Wetland Park in a small open game-drive vehicle. Your English-speaking guide may include Sakhile, Kyle, Spi, or Johan, depending on the day. Look for rhinos, elephants, hippos, birds, and more, then spend two hours snorkeling at Cape Vidal, with a beach option for non-swimmers.
“Beau safari avec un très bon barbecue. Pas vraiment concluant pour le snorkeling : courants même à marée basse et dans peu d'eau, eau froide et température extérieure un peu juste pour mes petits enfants de 6 et 8 ans.”
Pick a park, a coastline or a city.
