Incredible natural world, incredible guide! - Shamier was an incredible guide! So passionate about the natural world and so thoughtful and attentive to our (many!) needs. We appreciated his flexibility and good humor for the whole adventure. The sea is beautiful and the authentic treats for lunch were delicious and added an extra layer of being present with the sun and the waves of beautiful South Africa! Thank you!

Incredible Experience - Absolutely incredible experience! The guide was super friendly, encouraging and has the most positive infectious energy ! He really knew his stuff, matched it to our abilities and explained every step - communication from the get go was great ! Pick up was right on, and all the information and sorry telling along the way was invaluable. We left each trip feeling energised and couldnt wait for the next ! We were that impressed by the service and attention to detail that went on 3 tours with the same guide in total! You can't not have a great time - the sushi picnic on the beach was heaven !!

Best guided snorkelling experience - My guided snorkelling experience with Shamier was simply amazing. He is professional, knowledgeable. friendly, vibey, accommodating and an amazing guide overall. It was my first time snorkelling and, whilst not being the greatest swimmer, Shamier was patient and made very sure I was comfortable and safe (his floatie was a great help). The GoPro recording he made for us was a super perk to record the amazing memories. I will recommend this package anytime.
