What to wear and bring
The short version: swimsuit, towel, warm top. We hand you everything else at the beach.
We supply
- Wetsuit in your size, from small children to XXXL
- Mask and snorkel
- Fins
- Life jacket for the boat ride
- Flotation aid if you want one
- Lockers, change rooms and warm showers
You bring
- Swimsuit. Wear it under your clothes when you arrive. A one-piece or snug shorts sit best under a wetsuit.
- Towel.
- Warm layer. A hoodie or fleece for afterwards, even in summer.
- Sunscreen. Put it on before you suit up, and choose a reef-safe one.
- Hat and sunglasses for the ride, with a strap if you have one.
Worth considering
- Seasickness medicine, taken before the trip if you are prone.
- A waterproof camera on a wrist strap. Our guide takes photos too, and they are included.
- A rash vest under the wetsuit if you feel the cold.
- Contact lenses instead of glasses.
- A hair tie. Long hair under a mask strap is easier tied back.
Leave behind
- Jewellery, especially rings and dangling earrings
- Watches that are not rated for swimming
- Car keys with electronic fobs in your pocket. Use the lockers.
- Drones. Robberg is a nature reserve, and they disturb the colony.
On the seal viewing trip
You stay dry, mostly. Bring a windbreaker, sunglasses and a camera. Expect a little spray during the launch.
