Great - 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.

Great!!! - 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.

Excellent tour with up-close views of sharks - 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!

Well organized. - I really enjoyed my shark diving trip this morning. The company picked me up right on time and was very efficient is picking up the other passengers in Cape Town. When we arrived in Gansbaai, they checked everyone in, handed out wetsuits, and served breakfast. The boat was nice and they had stairs that rolled up to the boat which is a nice touch for folks that don’t do a lot of boating. We entered the cages in groups of five (there were ten on the boat), and there were about 6-7 sharks (wow!) that had a good time with us. Lunch was served and showers were provided when we returned to land. They shared a video of the day and drove us back to Cape Town by about 3pm. Fun experience!
