Here’s an overview of your activity
Hi, I'm Kobus! Having grown up in Cape Town, my passion for watersports started about 10 years ago. Since then, I have been a scuba and skin diver instructor for over 7 years and have taught in a variety of different environments.
Come with me and discover the beauty of Cape Town from the water! I'm excited to share my love of my home town, and it's waterfronts with you. On this private snorkeling experience in Cape Town, you can enjoy the city from the water while learning a new activity. I'm sure you'll love it!
My favorite place to snorkel is the kelp forests. Meet me at Simonstown and let's get ready to get in the water. But first, let's spot some penguins close to Boulder's Beach. This is the perfect way to kickstart your Cape Town experience from the water.
This snorkeling experience is for everyone! I'll give you a safety briefing, and the right gear for a safe snorkeling experience. I'll tell you everything you need to know about what we're going to do and what to expect on this fascinating tour. Now you're ready to explore the rich underwater world of Cape Town!
Snorkel in shallow water to get you comfortable and relaxed before we head out to do some exploring in between the kelp forests.
Want to do other watersports? Or how about more snorkeling? I can always personalize your tour 100% according to your experience. Let me know if you require pick-up from and drop-off to Cape Town. See you soon!
