Our Shark Cage Diving trips take place from the Kleinbaai harbour in the fishing town Gansbaai. Gansbaai is about 160 km from Cape Town and it takes about 2 hours 30 min by road. Although Gansbaai is known as the White Shark Capital of the World, the most common shark seen on our trip is the Bronze Whaler Shark – also known as the Copper Shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) Of course one also have good chance to see a White Shark as Gansbaai is indeed one of the best places in the world to see the White Sharks It is important to note that our times of operation depend on tides, weather and sea conditions, so the timing arrangements can change.

Due to variable weather conditions and shark activity, diving may not always be possible and is therefore not guaranteed. The boat tour we offer consists of approximately 3- 4 hours at sea. Time related itineraries and collection times are dependent on tides, weather conditions and the number of scheduled tours for a particular day. Exact collection times are therefore only available after 16h00 the day before and may vary between 04h30 and 11h30. Meet the team for a light breakfast and your introductory briefing at the Cape Shark Adventures Crew House, snacks and soft drinks are available on our boat, Barracuda. Fresh towels, wet suits and diving masks are provided and there are hot showers available on return to shore. You DO NOT need to be a qualified diver to enter the cage as we use a simple breath-hold technique whilst in the cage. Children as young as 12 years old are also allowed to get into the cage. Cape Shark Adventures is committed to showing you the sharks in the most environmentally friendly way possible. In the unlikely event that we don’t find sharks we will offer you a free trip on an alternate day.
