What to expect
Windmill Beach
We begin the snorkeling experience at our center in Muizenberg where you will be briefed and fitted with equipment. The chosen snorkeling location is weather dependent as we want to be sure to select the best location in terms of visibility and calmness for the day. However, most days we go to Windmill Beach in Simons Town. All locations are shore entries. We do not use a boat. Depending on the location, we may encounter fish, octopus, a variety of shy sharks, sea stars, anemones, brittle stars, abalone and other wonderful creatures. We have on occasion been curiously eyed by passing seals, stingrays and penguins. It is always a surprise and we never know what the ocean will reveal. Our guides will help you enter the water, get comfortable with your equipment, point out interesting marine life and provide a buoy to hold onto if needed. After we are done snorkeling, we debrief and change into our clothes. Participants have the option of departing from the snorkeling site if they have their own vehicle or accompanying us back to our center in Muizenberg.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
