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!

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.

I liked the experience and the company very much. They were always in touch prior to the trip answering all kinds of questions. The trip was nice, the crew great, videographer with a great sense of humor took videos that we got. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast and lunch we were offered. Well organized. The company is definitely recommended. As for experience I would like to have some more :) It was quite quick for me and not enough to enjoy to the fullest. May be will try again one day.

I loved it. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. I saw about 30 different sharks. It was scary but definitely safe and worth the experience.

I recently went on the shark cage diving tour in the beginning of Feb and had a very good experience with the whole trip. I was picked up within the time frame as communicated (get whatsapp as it is the best communication tour while in South Africa for foreigners), we were provided breakfast and lunch, the crew was very well organized and gave very detailed explanations of everything and the boat and cage launch were very smooth. It is a great learning experience too as you get to learn more details regarding how sharks play a role in the marine life and how they're misunderstood creatures. Highly recommend this tour!
