Beautiful experience with nice people. You can see the Shark really good and some seals.
I had an unforgettable experience with Cape Shark Adventures in Kleinbaai. From the moment we boarded the comfortable Barracuda to the end of the day, the crew were professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable — even a marine biologist was on board to answer questions and share insights. The shark cage diving itself was thrilling, with plenty of close-up sightings of sharks (mainly bronze whalers) and fascinating marine life. Extras like a light breakfast, hot coffee, lunch, warm towels and showers afterwards made the whole outing feel well organised and thoughtful. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned adventurer, this is a highly recommended way to tick off a bucket-list experience and learn about the ocean at the same time.
Very welcoming. Transportation offered from Cape Town (directly from the hotel). This time we were a small group of 7 people. We were able to fully enjoy the tour and sharks (16 who met around our boat) An experience that I fully recommend!
Everything about the organisation on the day and preparation for the day was super professional. The whole team was great. The safety briefing was clear and we felt safe throughout the whole day. Just do it - and when you have crossed that bridge these are the team to go with.
Thank you so much for the stunning review! We appreciate the fact that clients take time to leave us reviews. It is always a pleasure to connect to our clients as that makes the visit to us special and full of energy and fun!
`we are a group of 4 adults and decided to try diving with sharks. Cape Shark Adventures were absolutely brilliant. Fantastic experience, very professional and looked after us all very well.

Wow, I would call that a good decision! We are proud of the service we offer and happy that you have chosen us. That you saw lots of sharks, is exciting and we are glad that you enjoyed the experience with us.
It was an extraordinary experience , everything was flawless from the booking experience to the activity. The stuff was amazing and friendly and very helpful. For someone who was doing this and seeing a shark for the first time they made me feel safe and at ease. Jade and prince were awesome!

The team there were great, and even had their own marine biology expert! We saw sharks and a bonus stingray! It was all very professionally and safely run, and hot showers and food were provided afterwards. A thoroughly enjoyable experience!
Thanks so much for your great feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the dive—and that our marine biologist could add some extra insight to the experience. Sharks and a stingray? Lucky day! We're glad you felt safe and looked after from start to finish. Hope to see you back for another ocean adventure soon! — The Cape Shark Adventures Team

It is a wonderfull experience. I highly recommend it. We only saw one shark but was enough to say it is worthy. The crew is so patience and was working si hard to ensure we see sharks (mother nature is unoredictable). The staff at the office was so friendly and helpful. Serving hot soup and delicious snacks. Also providing towels and a hot shower after the tour. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the lovely review! We're so happy you enjoyed the experience—even spotting one shark is something special. Our crew truly does their best, and we appreciate your kind words about their effort (and nature’s unpredictability!). Glad the hot soup, snacks, and showers hit the spot after the tour. Hope to welcome you back again soon! — The Cape Shark Adventures Team
Reliable transfer from Cape Town with nice driver; everything super organized on site, helpful and extremely friendly attentive crew. We saw 4Copper Sharks (bronze sharks).
Thank you Mike for taking time to leave us a review. We always appreciate that. It was such a pleasure to have you with us. It is always good if clients get to experience the sharks as they are wild animals and only they can decide if they want to visit the boat and cage or not. I will pass your message on to the transfer company as well. Kind regards and stay safe.
