What to expect

After departing from your hotel in central Cape Town, this thrilling shark cage diving adventure begins at the Great White House in Gansbaai, South Africa's premier shark diving hub. There, you'll fuel up with breakfast and receive a briefing from your expert guides before suiting up in specialized diving gear. Then, you'll board a custom shark diving boat equipped with a sturdy cage and embark on a 20-minute cruise out to sea towards Dyer Island, a prime great white shark habitat.

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.
