Shark Cage Diving with Return Transport from Cape Town
Gansbaai is known as the great white shark capital of the world and is only a two-and-a-half hour scenic drive from Cape Town. It is here that Great White Shark Tours will make your dreams come true! The experienced crew will share their vast knowledge of the water world where they operate when they take you to view sharks from the surface or underwater from a cage. This marine wonderland is the closest place in the world where you can safely see these apex predators in their natural environment. Great White shark behaviour has been unpredictable since Orca predation in 2017. We work with various shark species, including Bronze Whaler sharks.

What's included in Shark Cage Diving with Return Transport from Cape Town
(Subject to Option Inclusions)The shark cage diving trip departs from Kleinbaai harbour between 6h00 and 12h00, based on tides and weather. Trips usually last 3–4 hours, but timing may vary with shark activity. You will receive a confirmation by text or email with your meeting time the evening before. On arrival, enjoy breakfast before a safety briefing covering the route, vessel details, and potential marine life encounters. After a short walk to the harbour, you'll board our custom-built vessel, Apex Predator. At the anchor spot, we use a legally approved chum mixture to attract sharks. Note: we do not use or feed shark products, as mandated. Once sharks are near, you can capture photos of these apex predators from the boat or within the shark cage. Please book in advance and allow for a two-day window in case of weather delays. Jackets are provided for protection at sea. After returning to shore, enjoy a debrief with soup and bread rolls.
Inclusions
- Wetsuit, diving boots, weight belt and diving mask. We also provide towels.
