While there are wealth of shark viewing and diving opportunities in South Africa, Gansbaai and Shark Alley in particular, is one of the best areas to experience sharks in their natural habitat. Shark Alley is a channel of water between two islands: Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. As Dyer Island is home to 50 000 Cape Fur seals, it provides ample hunting opportunities for the apex predator. This is a bucket list experience for you to go eye to eye with the worlds greatest predator. With the Dyer Island Group nearby, and home to 50 000 cape fur seals, it is the world’s capital for Great White sharks. Boasting the largest population of these majestic creatures year-round, shark cage diving and shark viewing trips are a must!

They helped me to even put in the dive suit. I chose to have oxygen. They were so beyond better than my expectations.

Excellent experience! We were picked up on time, couple of short stops for views, pics and coffee and then arrived on site. Breakfast was ready, fresh and satisfying. After quick briefing we boarded and were on site in 30 minutes. Sharks showed up in minutes - no great whites this time. Water was cold, but not that bad. Lots of time in the water, lots of copper head and blue sharks close up and some seals. Changing room on board to get into warm clothes and a hot soup lunch waiting for us. Inexpensive video documented the whole trip. Great crew, staff and drivers. We met lots of travelers, exchanged stories and had an overall blast.

It was wonderful experience. Sharks were beautiful, mostly from 2-6 meters. Thank you for that again. I can recommend for everyone.

Exhilarating fun. Best experience. Exciting. Nerve wracking. Terrifying. Must to. The team was very friendly, generous and engaging. I must mention Miss Kelly, the hostess with kind heart..... beauty with brains.
