Meet the Great White Sharks in Gansbaai

Will all daredevils please gather at the Great White Capital of the World?

Looking for a thrill? Why not take an up-close-and-personal dip in shark-infested waters? Take a walk on the wild side in Gansbaai and experience a Great White Shark Cage Diving Tour.   

Cape Town's East Coast is one of the world's best Great White shark viewing regions. The quaint South African seaside town, Gansbaai (a few hours drive from Cape Town), is internationally known as "The Great White shark cage diving capital of the world." >>Download information sheet .<<

A shark cage dive with Great Whites is a truly exhilarating experience: Climb into a floating cage, decked out in either scuba diving or snorkeling gear. Feel the adrenaline pump through your veins as a shark swims towards you, opens its mouth and bares its big sharp teeth.

While the brave can plunge into the shark diving cage for a little rendezvous with one (or more) Great Whites, non-divers can enjoy viewing Great White sharks from the boat.

Great White sharks are surface feeders and our shark handlers are trained to bring sharks up-close-and-personal against the side of the boat (Their heads and the jaws will be clearly visible).

· Transport to Gansbaai
