White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town

Super trip, but misleading pictures

The crew was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Although there was a marine biologist present who could tell us a lot about what we could expect. It should be said, however, that the pictures used for the trip show the cage completely in water and where you get oxygen from mask, this is NOT the case. The cage is fixed and you have to hold your breath while diving underwater. I think it is very unfortunate that you use the wrong pictures since I really had been looking forward to trying to get down with oxygen. Otherwise a wonderful trip.

Ocean Safari

Amazing time

We had an amazing time, so much so we went again, I can recommend this enough. We had a lovely time and got lucky enough to see seals, dolphins and on our second round, we managed to brave the chappy water with a skill guide to find the beautiful whale.
