Get an adrenaline rush with a classic Cape Town experience: cage diving with sharks, including the iconic great white. After hotel pickup, travel to Gansbaai for breakfast and wetsuit fitting. The captain will anchor near Dyer Island to maximize shark sightings from the safety of the cage. Meanwhile, the onboard marine biologist will explain the animals' behavior.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Pick-up is available from hotels, guesthouses, backpackers, vacation rentals, AirBnB's and any other locations within Cape Town's city center. Please specify your exact pick-up address so we can confirm if it's possible. Note that the selected time is just an estimate for when the shark cage diving boat will launch. Pick-up will be earlier to allow travel time from Cape Town to the pre-trip briefing at the Great White House in Gansbaai. Exact times can only be confirmed the day before after checking weather and tides. Please plan to set aside a full day for this activity.
What to expect
Once anchored at an ideal spot, the cage is lowered a few feet below the surface for easy and safe access. For approximately two hours, you'll have the opportunity to observe these magnificent predators up close from the security of the cage, all while enjoying drinks and snacks on board. Professional photographers capture the incredible moments above and below the surface.
After an unforgettable encounter with one of the ocean's apex predators, you'll return to the Great White House to unwind and purchase professional photos and videos as mementos of your once-in-a-lifetime experience before being transferred back to your hotel in Cape Town.
