Apex Shark Expeditions morning shark tours offers guests a chance to observe natural predation, breaching and experience shark cage diving - all on one trip. They take small groups of no more than 12 guests, allowing each guest excellent viewing opportunities as they share their knowledge and passion for these creatures.

After being collected at your hotel nice and early you will arrive in Simons Town and meet the shark dive team before taking 30 minute boat ride to seal island. Based on what the weather is doing, they will decide on the best spot to weigh anchor and begin attracting sharks to the vessel.
The cage is then deployed, where it floats next to the vessel. Once a shark approaches, the bait is kept in the water to keep the shark around long enough for identification, viewing and cage diving purposes. At no point are the sharks purposefully fed or handled and all efforts are made to prevent the sharks from making contact with our vessel.
If the weather conditions are favourable, guests will be readied for cage diving. Safety precautions and operational procedures are then explained to any guest wishing to enter the cage. It is important to know that the sharks come very close to the boat so it is not necessary to dive in order to see them. Those not wishing to dive will have excellent views of the Great White Shark.

After returning to Simons Town, there is time for lunch before the afternoon activities.

About 5 minutes outside of Simon’s Town, you will reach the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony – Home to 3000 African Penguins, where you can experience these delightful birds up close in their own habitat.

Thereafter wind your way through beautiful scenery to Cape Point. Breathe the crisp clean air of the ocean as you take in some incredible views. The area is of rich cultural and historical significance and includes monuments to early explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias.

PLEASE NOTE:
*Lunch is not included in this package.
*This tour rate is based on a minimum of two guests. Should you be a solo traveler, we can offer you the tour portion of this trip should you wish to pay twice the amount for the tour.
