SHARK CAGE DIVING

About the Tour

Offering a thrilling and genuine encounter with one of the ocean's most alluring apex predators, the Bronze Whaler Shark, this is a must-do Cape Town bucket list event. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience as it's one of the few locations on Earth where you may see these formidable animals in their natural environment.

Your tour begins at the V&A Waterfront, where you'll board a helicopter and fly over the magnificent Hottentots Holland Mountain Range before landing in the seaside village of Gansbaai, Overberg. This area is world-renowned for its marine biodiversity and is regarded as one of the greatest places to see sharks.

We've teamed with Marine Dynamics to provide a world-class shark cage diving experience. The shared diving option includes your shark diving ticket in the tour price, which provides exceptional value. If you prefer a more intimate experience, a private boat can be arranged as an optional extra; please contact us directly for costs and availability.

Our shark cage diving experience is designed for people of all ages and abilities, allowing everyone to see these fascinating sharks up close.

Bookings: Minimum 3 guests

Duration: Approx. 5 to 6 hours, including the shared diving experience.

Important Information


Check In Time

Please check in 30 minutes before your scheduled takeoff time. This allows us to complete weight checks, conduct the safety briefing, and issue your tickets. Once checked in, you can relax in our waiting area, capture some great pre-flight photos, and soak in the atmosphere before your adventure begins.

Photography Tip

For the best photos, we recommend wearing darker-colored clothing. Light colours, especially white, can reflect off the windows and affect your shots—so dress dark for that perfect picture! We do not have an on-site photographer.

Seating

For all sharing flights, seating is assigned based on weight and balance, which is determined during your safety briefing and ticketing. If you prefer to choose your own seats, you may book an Exclusive Flight by purchasing one additional seat—guaranteeing you the best seats in the house.

Weather

All flights are weather-dependent. If conditions are not suitable for flying, we will make every effort to reschedule your flight to the next best available time. For your comfort, please note that the temperature in the sky is the same as on the ground, so dress accordingly.
