Whenever you are in Cape Town this is a must. An absolutely incredible experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great views of Houtbay and Duiker Island.

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!

Absolutely amazing experience! Very professional and friendly staff. Well trained and kept us informed with every step. Would recommend for sure. They also provide the option to hire an underwater camera - which works great.

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!
