Just thank you! - Starting from the fact that I am the owner of a tourist agency so I know perfectly the industry and the working methods.
They welcomed me as a family person and already this gave me security as I was traveling alone.
The company also assisted me with regard to forecasts and based on those the itinerary was decided. Complete professional honesty thing not by everyone.
Amanda was always there and the driver super helpful.
I will recommend this agency to anyone who wants to visit South Africa! Price in my opinion also economic considering personnel costs and expenses in general.
One word THANK YOU!

An amazing and unexpected experience - A fantastic experience. I would not have imagined being able to see so many dolphins, whales, sea lions and of course sharks from the cage. A very professional team. Highly recommended activity.

Absolutely Fantastic!! - What an amazing day! We were picked up at our hotel in cape town for a drive to Gansbai by a very friendly driver who chatted to us all the way with very interesting facts and information.
In the morning we took part in the cage diving. After the safety briefing we took a short exhilarating boat ride to dive site. Bronze whaler sharks appeared and into the cage we went. As a 62 year old lady I was a bit worried about climbing in and out of the cage but the crew were brilliant and helped me achieve a bucket list experience. The whole experience was fantastic.
In the afternoon we were taken by our lovely driver to the harbour for the whale watching. I've been whale watching before off Monterey CA and have been disappointed so I wasn't expecting much. To my utter amazement the huge whales allowed us to get really close where they swam around and under the boat. The whales were everywhere! The crew gave us very knowledgeable information as we watched.
The whole day was frankly beyond words! Great company cannot praise highly enough..thank you 😊

Beautiful experiences with experienced guides - Guides with whom you can have fun, learn a lot of interesting things about the animals and you realize there is a lot of respect for the animals and their area of life behind it.
Shark-Diving was uniquely good. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales, as they probably moved on this year in November. For this we got a voucher for a replay of whale watching, with no expiration date.

Amazing Shark Dive, but Poor Organization and Facilities - The shark cage diving experience itself was incredible—an unforgettable adventure that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to get up close with these magnificent creatures. The thrill of being in the water with sharks was unmatched, and it’s clear that the company values marine conservation, which I deeply respect.
However, there were several organizational and facility issues that detracted from the overall experience, especially considering the high price point:
Combo Package Issues: We had purchased the whale-watching combo, which caused us to arrive after the rest of the shark diving group had already had breakfast and likely received a briefing about the dive and shark conservation. We were rushed through payment, barely had time for a sip of coffee, and missed the breakfast included in the package.
Lack of Information: As a result of the rush, we weren’t given much information about the sharks we were about to see or the conservation efforts. This was disappointing, as I was looking forward to learning more about these incredible animals.
Disorganization on the Boat: The boat felt chaotic. With 18 people on board, there was no system for managing belongings or changing into wetsuits. Clothes and backpacks were everywhere, and there wasn’t enough seating or space. Only one crew member seemed to be doing all the critical tasks (organizing people into the cage, handling wetsuits, and setting up equipment), while others stood idle. This made the experience unnecessarily messy and uncoordinated.
Wetsuit Quality: The wetsuits had noticeable holes and filled with water almost immediately upon entering the ocean. For the price paid, I expected better-maintained gear.
Post-Dive Facilities: After the dive, the facilities were inadequate. There was only one shower for everyone to use and one toilet per gender, which felt insufficient for a group of 18 people, especially after being soaked in saltwater.
Overall, while the shark dive itself was an amazing experience, the poor organization, outdated equipment, and lack of adequate facilities made the experience feel overpriced. With some attention to these issues, this could easily become a 5-star adventure.
