About this activity
Experience cage diving with great white sharks in Gansbaai, one of the world's premier shark encounter destinations, on this all-inclusive 8.5-hour private transfer tour from Cape Town. Watch apex predators in their natural habitat around Dyer Island, a marine hotspot teeming with seal colonies and seabirds, then return to the city with memories of an unforgettable wildlife encounter.
This tour will get your adrenaline pumping full time as you behold great White Sharks encircling your cage during our shark cage diving adventure. Truly you cannot be in Cape Town and not take part in Shark diving for Cape Town is literally the head office of shark diving in the world.
Extreme shark adventures happen in Dyer Island. Sharks like this place due to its high population of seals. The island has a large marine bird population including Jackass Penguins, Bank Cormorants, Kelp gulls, rare African Black Oyster catchers and various other marine birds.
After watching sharks and some other marine population you will meet some local fisherman that sell fish for braai (barbecue). The adventure is endless from start to finish.

Insider tips

- ★Arrive at your accommodation early on tour day; the 8.5-hour itinerary includes substantial travel time from Cape Town to Gansbaai (1.5+ hours each way)
- ★Bring seasickness medication if prone to motion; the boat ride to the island and cage diving can be choppy depending on sea conditions
- ★Wear layers and waterproof jacket—ocean spray and wind are intense, and wetsuits provided may not cover arms fully
