An Unforgettable experience witnessing these beautiful creatures. Animal Ocean is well equipped and thoughtful from the warm water to pour down your wetsuit after the snorkeling to the hot chocolate to cute towels provided while you change. A must on the bucket list!

This was the absolute highlight of our summer vacation. Extremely professional staff. Perfectly organised from start to finish, with nothing left to chance. The best part is there is no chumming of the water or anything unnatural. The seals are curious, friendly, perfectly at ease, and in abundance on and around their Seal Island home turf. The experience was truly magical and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone..South Africans and tourists alike. Strong swimming ability not a requirement, and as it is the Atlantic Ocean there are no sharks. I would recommend renting their underwater cameras for R200 (R150 if you have your own micro SD card). I would do this again in a heartbeat!…

Honestly, the highlight of our trip!!!! We went in December, and not only did we snorkel with seals up close and personal, but we were lucky enough to go and see whales that were nearby too! BEST experience and the staff and crew were also excellent. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Loved this experience although I got sick upon reaching the Snorkeling place, however the staff did all they could to make us comfortable with my friends. They offered refreshments. Managed to get some shots in the water. Will definitely try this again

Hi there Chantelle, Thanks so much for joining our team for a Seal Snorkeling trip recently - I am glad you felt well cared for by our staff and managed to get some photos despite feeling ill! If you do join us again a good option is to make sure you get some motion sickness medication, and take it the evening before and morning of your trip (or as recommended on the box or by the pharmacist) to try limit any possibility of seasickness. Thank you though for the 5 star rating and taking the time to leave us your thoughts - we appreciate the visit! Warm regards, Lauren Manager Animal Ocean
