Itinerary
1. Snorkelling with Seals
- First up is seal snorkelling in Hout Bay. Meet at the Snorkelling Centre at 8 Albert Road, HOUT BAY at your booked time. The first half hour is to meet the team, sign in, get into wetsuits and listen to a safety briefing.
- You will be transferred from the office to the harbour with your 2 dive guides and skipper of the boat.
- The boat trip lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours – on average, visitors spend approx 45 mins – 1 hr in the water.
- There are a maximum of 10 snorkelers per boat
- After this incredible experience, there will be water, biscuits, hot chocolate and hot water to pour into your websuit!
- After the return boat trip to the harbour you will be taken back to the office where there is tea & coffee and HOT showers available.
Things to note:
- You need to be able to swim confidently
- Children need to be 10 years or older to snorkel
- For those not wanting to get into the water a reduced rate is charged to go along on the boat and watch the seals and snorkelers in the water.
- No, you won’t see any sharks – the water is too cold for the sharks who prefer the seal colonies on the east coast of SA. The island is surrounded by shallow reefs and kelp forests which also prevents any large sharks from coming close to the island. If you would like to see some sharks, book a Shark Cage Diving experience with us and view these creatures up close and personal in their environment.
- If conditions are unsafe to go out due to the weather, the trip may be cancelled 24 hours before arrival but if short notice is given due to unexpected rough seas, a full refund is given.
2. Ziplining the tree tops
- On arrival your guides will welcome you and give you a brief introduction as to what to expect. A full safety briefing and demonstration will put you at ease before driving into the mountain where we start the ziplining tour.
- Apart from the tour of cables you will be sliding on you will also walk within the mountain range and take in the beautiful scenery and incredible fynbos kingdom along the way.
- The tour itself consists of 7 cables totalling approx 2.3 kilometres – one of Africa’s longest zipline tours. The highest cable from the ground in the canyon is 155 metres.
