THANK YOU to the entire team, Y’all rock! - An absolute must for thrill seekers and marine life lovers when visiting Cape Town. My husband and I LOVED this experience and our time with Shark Explorers/African Eagle. From the moment I booked until we got dropped off everything was seamless and enjoyable. Warren who picked us up and dropped us off from our accommodations was so sweet and even gave us so much local information during the drive (his family is the coolest!). The staff was simply the best, ensuring we had a wonderful time, at ease & comfortable, well fed & hydrated, and super informed about sharks and safety. We were lucky that there was a lot of shark action when we got there. The amount of time you’re in the water was plenty. The boat, equipment, refreshments etc were all spot on. THANK YOU to the entire team! Don’t even hesitate in booking, check this off your bucket list.

Shark cage diving. Pure adrenaline best spot. - I was welcomed by the crew from the very beginning. Shark cage diving was, after detailed instruction, simply Adrenalin pur. I felt safe at all times and everything was done in accordance with, and respect for nature. The shark spot in Simon’s Town is outstanding, there are many basking sharks on site. Ultimately an unforgettable experience with a mega crew and a mega spot.

An AWESOME DAY out - What an amazing experience. We cannot thank the team enough on the boat and in the office for what was such a great adventure. Nothing was to much, and all ensured that we were well informed prior to the trip, as well as on the day. We would highly recommend them, and a special shout out to Lindy for here help when booking this fantastic day out. We weren't disappointed, as we got to see Sharks, Seals and Whales whilst out at sea. Great refreshments on the boat, as well as a good laugh with the crew. My son was in his element, so thank you for making one of his many dreams come true. Kind Regards, Mel and Family

Well organised, friendly and passionate crew - We booked this experience while in Capetown recently and I really wasn’t sure it was something I would be brave enough to do but seeing the professionalism, care and enthusiasm of all the crew I just had to give it a go with my husband and two sons. I’m so glad I did!! Plenty of shark activity but the additional company of some greedy seals who the crew knew and had named Dennis the Menace and Julius plus a smaller, younger seal, just made the whole experience magical while we waited for our turn. If you are considering this experience but are not sure if it’s for you then I would say definitely book with this company and I promise you will have the best time whether you climb into the cage or not. Thank you to all the crew, you helped us make unforgettable memories with our sons 🙏

Amazing Shark Experience. The crew was awesome and lured numerous large sharks right to the cage. The best! - This was an awesome experience! Crew was fun and friendly. We saw up to six large sharks, two species, at any given time, some right up close and personal at the cage.

Very cool! - I enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. The staff was friendly, helpful, and informative. The boat and equipment were nice as well. Although white sharks are no longer seen it was cool to see the bronze whaler sharks close up. Lucked out having a beautiful day as well!

This is the One You Want - We had a great time! The crew is knowledgeable and fun. Every person on our crew has done this work for at least 10 years. Everyone got a great amount of time in the cage with lots of up close shark encounters. Yes, they can't guaranteed that you see sharks, but I promise that there if there are sharks, this team will find them!
