Whether you're drifting above the kelp forests of the Wild Coast, exploring the tidal pools of Port St Johns, or floating over colorful reefs near Kenton-on-Sea, the snorkeling here is surprisingly diverse. Expect to encounter an array of reef fish, urchins, sea stars, and even shy octopuses. In some areas, playful seals may join you in the water, adding magic to the experience.
