Seal snorkeling is fun for all! Children from 6 years can enter the water & children younger than 6 can view from the boat, giving the whole family this wonderful opportunity to bond with the interactive Seals in their natural environment.

DURATION & WHAT TO EXPECT:

You will be met on arrival by our experienced seal guide who will sign you in & assist with fitting your snorkel gear (changing rooms & lockers are available on site). Once everyone has geared up, the group will take a short stroll on the beach to the boat where you be given a briefing by the skipper & seal guide on boat procedures & the seal snorkeling experience, before embarking on a short boat ride to Robberg Nature Reserve. You will then get to jump into the water with your guide for an exhilarating 30 minute snorkel experience with the seals.
