Superb shark trip. - This trip was a Christmas present for our daughter before covid.. finally we made her dream come true. It was amazing, far exceeded our expectations. From start to finish we were so well looked after. Very good value, very informative. Sharks - bronze whaler sharks were circling from the minute the boat stopped also the seven gill shark which added a lot of excitement not forgetting playful seal . Diving was so much fun and there was plenty of opportunity.
The staff were very knowledgeable and informative and every single one including the lady who cleared the plates after our meal were courteous and friendly.
Bucket list ticked for us with an A* so don’t hesitate to book.

Very professional and fun activity - The shuttle collected us on time for a 2.5 hour run to Gansbaai where we had breakfast and coffee in a very smart reception. Everyone was professional and informative and we boarded the boat safely. We didn't enter the cage but many others did and everyone had many shark viewings. No-one on our trip was unhappy and we certainly enjoyed it. A quick lunch and a shuttle back to Cape Town. No great whites but they are very rare and we had hours of interaction with other sharks.

Great Value and Experience I will never forget! - This was the complete package - you get to the location - you get a very nice breakfast and a talk about what to expect and what to do. Then it was off to the boat! Not to many people so you did not have to fight to view. Have a question and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and quick to answer. We saw several sharks - even the elusive Great White. Then after everyone had their turns watching from the water - back to shore. Once there we had a nice lunch and while we were eating they were making a video that they recorded during the trip! We all got to watch the video as we finished and then we could get a copy if we wanted to. What a great time - value and experience!

Want to see sharks in a sustainable way? This is the place to do it. Sharks came right up but felt completely safe. - Amazing shark encounters led by a marine biologist concerned with shark and ocean preservation. Great breakfast to boot.

A Thrilling Adventure with Room for Improvement - Venturing into the world of shark cage diving with [Tour Operator's Name] was undeniably exhilarating and unforgettable. The experience promised heart-pounding encounters with magnificent creatures of the deep, and in that regard, it did not disappoint.
While the dive itself was thrilling, the video recording was underwhelming.
After an adrenaline-pumping dive, a hearty meal would have been greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the provided snacks were basic and lacked variety
