Full description
Discover the thrill of diving with sharks in a protective cage on this boat tour to Shark Alley. Choose from a tour with a pickup and drop-off service from Cape Town or Hermanus, or a tour with a meeting point at Kleinbaai Harbor. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks on your trip.  On arrival, enjoy complimentary snacks with coffee or tea during the safety briefing on land and get fitted with your high-quality wetsuit. Embark on your cruise from Kleinbaai Harbor. Arrive at shark alley and watch as the boat is anchored and the sharks are lured by bait line to the cage. Watch the sharks from the deck of the boat while waiting to hop into the cage for your own unforgettable close encounter. Sip on drinks and snacks on board while you warm up on the deck before having another underwater encounter with these awe-inspiring apex predators. No diving experience is necessary for this surface-level cage dive, it's as easy as holding your breath. Have your experience captured by an onboard cameraman and after viewing the day's footage back on land, while tucking into a hot meal, you can choose to purchase a souvenir USB.

Amazing trip. Crew were extremely helpful & on hand for any requests. Drive is around 2 hours - 2 hours 30 from CT depending on how many pickups. Positives: very organised, crew were helpful, the diving was fantastic. Other tips: plan for the weather! Our trip was rescheduled 3 times due to the rough seas, the day we finally went out it was still pretty choppy! Lots of people sea sick. Be careful of the jellyfish too! Marine life is obviously unpredictable but quite a few stings on our trip (the crew did have a spray incase of this happening). Also to note; we booked through WSV instead of Marine Dynamics themselves, somehow making our trip a good £20 PP cheaper. We were still on a MD boat so I'm not really sure how that set up works!

We got picked up from Camps Bay, and the drive was very long, I think way over 3 hours including picking up other people on the way. But that is something no one can affect on. During the act, we saw three different shark species and a cape fur seal. I really loved it! All of us got to spend around 25 minutes in a cage, and the water was full of bronze whalers. Beautiful fish! The guide was very informative and the tour provided hot chocolate on board and soup afterwards. We also visited the penguin sanctuary on our way back, love it. Totally worth to sit in a car all of those hours. I couldn’t ask for more. I recommend to go and see these amazing creatures! Thank you for an awesome day learning about sharks!

Hello dear team, the excursion was basically OK. There is criticism that there are no great white sharks to be seen. There was no indication beforehand that it was not the season for them at this point in time. So I found the price unreasonable. The crew was good. LG Herbert Krause
