What to expect

This half-day experiential coastal experience pairs the wonder of a guided snorkelling adventure in the African Sea Forest with a curated tasting of Cape fisherman cuisine, including bespoke fisherman-style sushi crafted from fresh, local ingredients.

It also includes a guided Penguin Colony visit, with access tickets included.

Whether you opt for an Uber or private hotel collection, begin with a scenic journey along False Bay, passing naval landmarks, colourful harbours, and the iconic Boulders Beach penguin colony. At the snorkel site, glide beneath the surface into the ethereal African Sea Forest, where kelp fronds sway like underwater curtains and playful seals, pyjama sharks, octopuses, and reef fish reveal their hidden world.

After snorkelling, relax along a peaceful shoreline and savour premium fisherman-style sushi alongside a traditional picnic. Thereafter, we head to the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a guided visit.

It’s a slow, immersive experience combining adventure, culture, and cuisine, leaving you with lasting memories of Cape Town’s wild ocean and coastal heritage.
