Trip Summary

Through the ages, the Great White Shark has stirred up emotions of fear & fascination. We invite you to join us on an expedition into this noble savage’s world. The 20 - 25 minute boat trip to where the activity is to take place, is by itself an exhilarating adventure. You could get close and personal in the cage or enjoy the experience from the deck of the Slashfin a unique, multi-million rand aluminium boat custom designed for speed, stability, safety and space and can comfortably accommodate 40 passengers and the crew at a time.

On this Shark Cage Diving Tour be prepared for a combination of goosebump thrills, education and relaxation on a luxury boat in the company of experienced experts and researchers! Gain the knowledge to distinguish between a male and female shark and how to identify a specific shark by its unique dorsal fin and scars. Before the exhilarating boat trip guests will meet at the Great White House in Kleinbaai, where they will receive breakfast or lunch, register their wetsuit size and receive a pre-trip safety briefing about what to expect during the trip and a biological background on great white sharks. After a very informative briefing guest will take a 200m stroll down to the harbour to board Slashfin, where they will travel to Dyer Island for approximately 20 minutes (where the boat anchors, depends on where the sharks are). On average, the boat will anchor for 2 hours, but this depends on shark activity, conditions, as well as number of divers. Weather permitting, we take a quick trip through the infamous Shark Alley. Lastly, a debriefing in the Great White House with soup and bread to warm you up.
