When you hear Africa, you think about elephants, leopards, and lions but there is a big treasure in the ocean as well. We join the Ocean Safari and we tones of amazing creatures down there.
I feel safe all the time for me and my 2 girls.
The instructors are well prepared.

Not only did I feel safe at all times, the crew was very informative about the sea life and landscape around. Their enthusiasm gave lots of energy to the tour. This was an incredible experience to see another unique side to wildlife in Africa!

Learned of Animal Ocean some years ago and was sure I wanted to go to one of their tours when I visited Capetown. I can just say, it did not disappoint. Although they're not longer doing the Fur seal tour, they still make sure you have the best experience in the bay. Steve and his team show true love for the ocean and its life forms, they're very knowledgeable and responsible on how they approach wildlife and take good care of visitors. Also, they'll be waiting for you with some hot chocolate when you're done snorkelling, for a wonderful cozy end to the visit.
