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.

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.
