Cape Point Ocean Safari
The ultimate Seal dive! Come and experience Cape Point from a different angle whilst snorkeling with the clowns of the sea!
Get your cameras ready for that idyllic photo as you make your way past Smitswinkel and Buffels Bay, pass Dias crosses and come in close to the cliffs below the historic Cape of Storms famous lighthouse, and then onto the point.
You will visit Roman Rock Lighthouse; being the only lighthouse on our coasts to have been erected on a single rock, take a photo, and take back some history with you.
This safari often encounters penguins, whales, and a plethora of seabirds.
On the way back from this incredible adventure, stop off at Partridge Point, home to a few hundred seals.
These curious, playful, and soulful animals will entertain divers and snorkelers alike. As they tend to hang around the surface, both snorkellers and those who chose to remain on board will be able to enjoy these curious creatures and they frolic about doing their day-to-day activities.
