Adverse weather but still highly recommend - I booked the shark cage dive + half day land tour through email with Lindy who is a delight. Unfortunately, we were only in Cape Town for three days and the winds and seas were not conducive to going out on the boat. Lindy let me know immediately but we were able to keep our half day land tour. We went to Boulder’s Beach, Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope with Warren. Warren is so welcoming and personable, we had a wonderful time on the trip. Although the weather was a disappointment for the shark dive, we’ll definitely book again on our next trip to Cape Town and/or we may check out their dives in Bahamas.

Best Shark Cage Diving Experience - What an amazing team! We ended up getting stuck in traffic and we were late. They waited for us and welcomed us on with such kindness and just an all around friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. They are super helpful and friendly admin staff. The lady name is Lindy and she is just lovely so accommodating, patient with any question or query and kind. The boat staff are just as amazing super friendly and made the experience even more exciting stop the boat so we could take photos of the dolphins. All round this company is incredible, kind and wonderful. Would definitely recommend for your first and every time after that. They offer so much for you to do. 🤞☺️

Most amazing experience on the water - This was the most amazing experience ever! We were fortunate enough to see whales, seals, and sharks on our trip. Ernie, Jason, and Nina were so kind and welcoming, they made you feel like family, and they were incredibly dedicated to making sure we had the best experience ever. There was plenty of chum to make sure that everyone had a great encounter with the sharks. I would 100% do this again, 10/10 recommend.

Incredible experience - This was an incredible experience! Nina, Ernesto, and Jason are incredible guides! Mrs. Lindey is so helpful in coordinating and ensuring you go on the best day of the weather isn’t looking so good! They are so honest about the shark presence that week and gave us the opportunity to reschedule because of the low sighting! However we had an amazing time we saw many Humpback whales and a Bride Whale on our ride to where we anchor! Nina, ensured we circled seal island as well so we could see all the seals swimming! When we anchored we saw about 5 bronze whalers that were about 2.8-3.0 meters in length and they were bumping into the cage and so active today! I cannot recommend this company enough, this was a trip of a lifetime!

Lots of Sharks and Super Fun - This was one of the best experiences I've had while traveling anywhere! The Sharks Explorers crew genuinely love what they do, and that makes the whole thing. I was nervous about the cage itself, but they explained everything really well and by the time I suited up, I wasn't nervous at all. They were so much fun to hang out with, did an awesome job, oh and... We saw about 20-30 SHARKS!! Also had a seal playing around near our boat and had some dolphins accompany us back to the marina. Definitely go with Shark Explorers. 6/5 stars.

Absolutely incredible! - Absolutely amazing experience! Our crew was so knowledgeable and fun, and they made us feel completely at ease from the start. We loved the entire experience from start to finish. The boat ride out to the area we anchored was so much fun, and seeing the sharks was just as amazing from the boat as it was in the cage. We probably saw between 20-30 sharks, seals, and a school of dolphins on our return journey. Beautiful day!
