We had a nice day with Raegan as our tour guide. He picked us up and gave us an extensive history lesson as we drove to our points of interest. The company we snorkeled with were professional and very friendly! We had the boat to ourselves and enjoyed snorkeling with seals, in a kelp forest and a whale sighting as we motored to the snorkel sight. The water was quite chilly - but the guide was accommodating to us ending a bit earlier and had hot chocolate to warm us up! Raegan then took us to the other points of interest and was ready to pick us up after a short hike around Cape Penninsula. We were unprepared for the charge to drive a winding road on the way home (we wish we had been told about this one ahead of time—or offered the choice) and the necessity of cash at each point given the South African power shortages. Overall, a very fun day!
