One of the few places in the world where white sharks can be observed regularly at any time of the year, Gansbaai is known as the shark diving capital of the world. The watery habitat of the apex predator is not glamorous and this tour is highly weather dependent - this is mother nature at her most temperamental and raw; only when you see your first flash of steely grey sliding purposefully towards the boat, will you understand the magnetic beauty of the great white shark. Indescribable. No previous diving experience is necessary to enter the cage and everything you will need to fully enjoy the tour is provided, from your meals, to your dive equipment and even the convenient and comfy shuttle that Shark Zone can provide to get you there. As Cape Town's #1 booking agent for great white shark tours, Shark Zone will make sure you get the best deal, hassle-free! « less

“Over and above the line of duty!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

I went on the shark cage diving trip with Shark Zone. It was a very early start as we had to be out on the water by 7.00 when the sharks feeding time is! We left Cape Town around four in the morning and travelled to Gansbaai the shark capital of the world. I went with my younger sister who... More

“Weak Follow Up”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

Shark Zone in Cape Town does an OK trip but their promise to send things like pictures later they never follow through. The organization overall of the group is pretty weak. There are lots of other providers - use one of them rather than Shark Zone. More

“Shark Cage Diving with Cape Convoy”

I went Great White Shark cage diving in South Africa last week. It was incredible! We saw 3 good sized sharks, the biggest being about 3.5ft. I was worried that I would be too scared to get in the cage but when I actually did it it felt more like being in a nature programme than anything dangerous. Also the... More

“Terrible experience with this company”

We booked our shark dive as one of the highlights of our trip to Cape Town. We were really dissapointed in the whole day. We completely understand that shark viewing is seasonal and we didn't go at the optimal time, so we were prepared for us to not see as many sharks as in the peak season for viewing. However,... More
