Snorkelling The Natal Coast


Snorkelling the Natal Coast
browse (1 / 3)

With its warm climate, wonderful scenery, and mild water, the KwaZulu Natal has attracted visitors from across the world purely for its attractiveness as a snorkelling destination. The vast variety of tropical reefs and sea-life, combined with the tantalizing numbers of ship wrecks – makes the Kwazulu Natal coast a prime snorkelling experience.

The warm Agulhas current that flows down the KwaZulu Natal coast allows the tropical reefs to flourish, and the water seldom drops below 20º C, summer or winter. Currently, one of the most sought after is Sodwana Bay in the northern region of the province. In fact, Sodwana Bay was recently voted 3rd in an online poll amongst the world’s top snorkeling spots, with over 1200 species of fish, and great snorkeling all year round. Aliwal Shoal near Umkomaas is spot famed for attracting international divers and for snorkellers, as it offers both warmth and visibility. A 40 minute drive south of Durban, the shoal is laid thick with a range of sponges, soft and hard corals that blends brilliantly with schools of warm water reef and cold water fish.

Watch out for hippos, crocodiles and sharks as you snorkel in Maputaland! Home to the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve, here you will be find sheltered and shallow waters at low tide for great snorkelling, not to mention an assortment of pools and rock ledges waiting to be discovered. Located at the mouth of four fresh water lakes, Kosi Bay has a number of fish species. Just watch out for the occasional lost shark and croc, who sometimes struggle to find their way between the salt and fresh waters.
