Snorkel through the underwater forests of Cape Town
Cape Peninsula, South Africa
Experience Cape Town’s kelp forests up close: snorkelling with marine biologists and actively contributing to marine research.
Ce que tu peux vivre ici
Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of the Great African Sea Forest off Cape Town. Between the golden-green kelp stalks you’ll discover an ecosystem full of life – from curious octopuses to shy catsharks. This snorkelling tour gives you the rare chance to explore the ocean’s hidden treasures side by side with a marine biologist.
Together with an experienced marine biologist you glide through the gently swaying kelp forests. You learn how octopuses hunt, find the favourite hiding places of catsharks and find out why sea urchins wear ‘hats’. You also actively support research by taking photos to identify local shark species, helping to conserve this unique habitat.
The tour lasts around two hours and starts in Simon’s Town on False Bay. The best conditions are when the sea is calm and visibility is good – usually in the early morning. All equipment is provided; however, you should be a confident swimmer and feel comfortable in the water.

Ce que les autres disent de Cape RADD
Travellers often describe the trips here as one of the highlights of their holiday. They feel safe and welcome from the start, and praise the relaxed atmosphere and the very committed team, who support beginners and experienced participants alike with great attention.
Many emphasise how much they learn about marine animals and conservation. The knowledgeable marine biologists explain things patiently, answer questions and involve guests in simple research tasks, which makes the trip feel far more meaningful for many than a pure fun dive.
Some are surprised by how cold the water is despite good preparation and by how quickly time flies. A positive point is that all equipment is provided and that underwater photos are sometimes offered free of charge, which some experience as an unexpected extra.
