★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 4 hours · from $233

See bronze whaler sharks from a secure cage in Cape Town’s False Bay, with snacks, soft drinks, and wildlife spotting on a boat trip.

“10/10 experience. Nina, Jason and Ernest were all incredibly welcoming and friendly. They made sure to explain everything (so that we felt re-assured) and answered any questions that we had about the sharks. We saw 10 to 12 sharks, they seemed genuinely excited for us and especially about sightings of the slightly more rare 7 gilled sharks! Shoutout must also go to Lindy, who was super responsive to any queries beforehand and was welcoming and approachable on the day. Would highly recommend cage diving with this crew.”
