Privately Guided Snorkelling + Seaside Picnic with Traditional Cape Fisherman Delicacies & Sushi

Step into an adventure where Cape Town’s wild beauty meets quiet coastal luxury — a 3–4 hour escape crafted for couples and small groups who want something extraordinary.

Your journey begins in the African Sea Forest, one of the world’s most unique and awe-striking marine ecosystems. Guided by a PADI-certified pro, you’ll glide through towering kelp forests, watching sunlight stream through golden fronds as curious marine life drifts past. It’s peaceful, immersive, and unlike anything most travellers ever experience — a true natural wonder hiding just below the surface.

And when you rise from the water, the experience doesn’t end… it transforms.

Waiting on the shoreline is your seaside tasting picnic, curated for travellers who appreciate flavour, culture, and a touch of indulgence after the ocean’s embrace. Expect fresh sushi, traditional Cape Malay fisherman delicacies, seasonal fruits, cheeses, and ice-cold refreshments — all arranged beautifully with the ocean as your backdrop. No queues, no searching for parking, no hunting for a restaurant. Just an effortless transition from sea to feast.

This experience is more than a snorkel and more than a picnic — it’s a sensory journey through Cape Town’s natural and culinary heritage, wrapped into one seamless, intimate adventure.

For travellers who crave nature, culture, connection, and a gentle brush of luxury…this is the coast at its finest.
