Shark Cage Diving

About the Tour

Offering a thrilling and genuine encounter with one of the ocean's most alluring apex predators, the Bronze Whaler Shark, this is a must-do Cape Town bucket list event. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience as it's one of the few locations on Earth where you may see these formidable animals in their natural environment.

Your tour begins at the V&A Waterfront, where you'll board a helicopter and fly over the magnificent Hottentots Holland Mountain Range before landing in the seaside village of Gansbaai, Overberg. This area is world-renowned for its marine biodiversity and is regarded as one of the greatest places to see sharks.

We've teamed with Marine Dynamics to provide a world-class shark cage diving experience. The shared diving option includes your shark diving ticket in the tour price, which provides exceptional value. If you prefer a more intimate experience, a private boat can be arranged as an optional extra; please contact us directly for costs and availability.

Our shark cage diving experience is designed for people of all ages and abilities, allowing everyone to see these fascinating sharks up close.

Keep these in mind

Check In Time

Please check in 20-30 minutes prior to your scheduled Take Off time. This will allow enough time for us to take weights, conduct a safety briefing and issue tickets. After this has been conducted you can relax on the viewing deck and take some great pre-flight pictures and enjoy the atmosphere.


Seating

Please be aware that seating allocation on all our sharing flights are done according to weight and balance which is done during your safety briefing and ticketing. Should you want to choose your own seats you can book an Exclusive Flight at the cost of one additional seat and you are guaranteed the ‘best seats in the house.

Best Pictures

For the best pictures we recommend that you wear darker coloured clothing as whites reflect off the inside of the windows and can spoil that epic shot. We do offer In Flight Video packages where we record you and your flight, including audio, and put it on a USB for you. Note that not all aircraft has this system available so please requests this on check in.


Weather

All flights are weather dependent. Should the conditions not be ideal for flying we will try to reschedule to the next best available flight window. Note that the temperature in the sky is exactly the same as on the ground in case you are wondering what to wear.
