Cape Town - At first glance, they might appear to be home to only a few limpets and some seaweed, but peering

into the depths of even the smallest rock pool reveals incredible diversity. And no two are ever the same.

The De Hoop Reserve shoreline is a treasure trove of coastal life – and for the month of October the magical underworld of the rock pools will be open for all to see.

These fascinating mini marine worlds are bound to intrigue even the most jaded city slicker – and the experienced guides will be on hand to decode and explain the many treasures you discover.

The pristine 58 kilometre shoreline of the Marine Reserve offers secluded beaches too, which make wonderfully scenic hideouts for swimming and picnicking. So pack your costume and snorkelling gear, and enjoy getting up close and personal with the captivating sea life you’ll encounter.

Of course, the rest of De Hoop is at your disposal too: delight in the sightings of Southern Right whales that mate, calve and raise their young along the coast, explore the spectacular collection of fauna and flora and feel at home in the variety of traditional Cape cottages and fine lodges.
