Itinerary

Your Shark Trip departs from Simon’s Town, 45 minutes from the city Centre of Cape Town. We will pick up from your accommodation.

The deep blue waters of False Bay are intoxicating. You scan the depths and watch the waves as you head out for shark cage diving Cape Town. In every sharky location, a diverse abundance of wildlife surrounds, Southern Right whales exhaling through their blowholes, comedic African Penguins, and thousand-strong pods of Common Dolphins patrolling for schools of fish. Yet the species you yearn to see most are mostly solitary; evolutionary masterpieces perfectly adapted to their habitat. Without warning – a movement catches your eye, the faintest shimmer, the merest glint of white teeth, and an agile, powerful body. Could it be? You have waited so long to see one……

The shark species found in these waters include the Bronze Whaler shark, the Seven-gill shark, the Blue and Mako shark, with the occasional sighting of a Great white shark. No matter the species – your perspective will have changed forever, way beyond your wildest imagination.

We see a variety of shark species throughout the year according to the seasons, weather, water temperature and other factors. Trips are confirmed dependent on weather and not species dependent.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony is a 5-minute drive from Simon’s Town, and we usually spend about 20 – 30 minutes observing the 2 000 African penguins and hundreds of other bird species. The beach itself is surrounded by ancient boulders, crystal blue waters and pristine white sand.

Experience these delightful birds up close in their own habitat. The sandy, compact cove offers a home to waddling penguins & their nesting areas.

These penguins first arrived in 1982 and it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment.

Winding boardwalks make their way through the dunes and vegetation, offering guests an enchanting experience.

Penguins can be seen year-round with January being the prime time to witness juvenile birds moulting on the beach.

Next stop.....

The Cape of Good Hope

The world-famous The Cape of Good Hope also known as Cape Point is situated at the southwestern tip of Africa, in the Cape Point Nature Reserve, a 10-minute drive from Boulders Beach.

This World Heritage site is a travellers must see with its unspoiled beaches, thriving biodiversity and grandiose cliffs. The “point” served as a landmark for ship travellers and includes monuments to early explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias who named it the “Cape of Storms”, in.1488.

This tour includes a hike to the lighthouse which is situated on the edge of the cliff that has been in operation since 1857, offering visitors a panoramic view of the surrounding coastline. A good option for lunch is the Two Ocean’s restaurant. (for your own account). The park is home to an array of fynbos, over 250 species of birds, buck, baboons, and Cape Mountain zebra.

There are numerous picnic spots, paths on which one can set off on foot or mountain bike, and tidal pools on almost isolated beaches.

Next stop....

After a day filled of adventure and adrenaline, should the itinerary and weather allow, we will wind down on a spectacular sunset drive along Chapman’s Peak. Located on the very edge of the coastline, the drive has simply breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the overhanging green mountains on the right. The pass first opened in 1922 and starts in Noordhoek, ending in Hout Bay. The 9 Km drive has 114 winding curves and with various lookout points to absorb the view and capture photographs.

The dropoff at your hotel is around 17:00.
