Day notes

* Enjoy Breakfast at the Redbourne Hilldrop

* Take a drive to the meeting location: 8 Albert road, Hout Bay for your activity

(Always arrive 30 minutes before your booked trip time)

* Trip Duration

About 3 hours. This includes arriving 30 minutes before your trip time to sign in and kit up, briefing and travelling to and from the Harbour and island. On average, visitors spend 45 mins – 1hr in the water.

* Snorkeling Site Conditions

The snorkeling site is very shallow (1 – 5m deep) and you will see the bottom clearly most days. This is the ocean so there can be small waves and a choppy surface. The water temperature varies from 8C – 13C. This means that the water is COLD ! The boat is always nearby and you can return to warm up if needed.

* What experience do I need?

To snorkel you need to be able to swim confidently. Motion sickness is a problem for some. If you suffer from motion sickness, this experience may not be for you. We recommend one motion sickness pill the evening before and one the morning of your trip

* Age Limits

Snorklers can be from 10 – 16 years, with a guardian present and all ages upwards are welcome. It is very important that you let us know that children are joining your group as we need to make sure the conditions are not too rough. Boat viewers can be from 6 years old and up.
