Jump on the boat for this once in a lifetime Snorkeling experience out to the beautiful Robberg Nature Reserve, where you get up close & personal with our local playful Cape Fur Seals!
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:
1 ½ hours
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. On arrival back at ProDive, our facilities include changing rooms & showers where can freshen up after your once in a life time marine animal encounter.
Snorkeling gear: Mask & Snorkel, Wetsuit & Fins.
FREE Photo & Video footage is made available to you after the trip.
WHERE TO MEET:
Please drive straight to the Beacon Island Hotel Main Entrance. Park outside & follow our signs on the walkway to the left of the boom gate. We are INSIDE the Beacon Island Hotel complex, next to the volleyball courts. If you need any further directions please ask the security.
MEETING TIME:
The time advertised is the launch time, please meet at our dive centre no later than 45 minutes before the time.
RABIES UPDATE:
We want to keep you informed about the recent rabies cases identified in seals. Our team is actively monitoring the situation in coordination with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, as well as Cape Nature who manage Robberg Nature Reserve. While the cases have been isolated, we’ve introduced additional safety measures to protect everyone.
To help manage the risk, we’ve implemented extra precautions by working together with the other operators & have experienced marine spotters keeping an eye out for any unusual seal behaviour.
During excursions, our guides carry first aid kits specifically for bite injuries and are always close by while you’re in the water, ready to assist immediately. The boat stays close to the group to pick up swimmers swiftly, if required. We have a 30 year impeccable safety record and our crew are always ready to react in any situation.
Our local trauma doctor is fully equipped to handle seal bite incidents and we have ensured that vaccines are readily available.
If you’re feeling unsure, you’re welcome to switch to a viewing trip instead—it’s just as fun and a great way to enjoy the experience from a different perspective. Whatever you choose, we’re here to make sure your adventure is both safe, enjoyable & memorable!
