Amazing

Was cancelled first day but rearranged and kept in constant communication. Next day we went saw a couple of sharks 20-30 minutes in the water each. Better view of sharks top deck but in the cage still an awesome experience

Great authentic Indian cuisine

Fantastic service and food. Staff are very friendly and take time to explain dishes and degrees of spice levels. If you want dishes to have an extra kick then they will accommodate this.

Beautiful experience

So exciting in itself and was fun. It’s a pity that you do a lot of “White Shark” advertising, but get to see it is rather rare. Otherwise, great experience. - A bigger boat for 20 people would also be good.

DO NOT Book with this company

DO NOT BOOK with this tour operator. Booked the shark cage diving for 10th April. It got postponed twice during my holiday. Never actually got to go on it. Then the tour operator has gone, quiet, silent and not responding to my request for refund. Have now escalated and trying to get refund as service was not provided. Shocking that they stop communicating, and yet take the tourists money without providing the tour.

Amazing view of bronze whaler sharks

A wonderful trip, a couple of hours outside Cape Town. It is the best spot for seeing sharks, although Great Whites not as common as they once were - rumours that Orcas have seen them off in recent years. The boat was crowded, but everyone got at least one chance to descend into the cage. Water clarity wasn't brilliant on the day, but we got up close to six or seven bronze whaler sharks, so had clear views. The crew were very good and knew their stuff, so made the most of the conditions. Onboard equipment was clean and in good condition, which made the colder-than-usual water a comfortable experience. An exciting day, not to be missed.

Fun

Nice experience, no whites but enjoyed. Nice hot shower afterwards to help warm up. Run smooth and efficiently.

Uncommon experience

Compared to others, the price is attractive. We've seen a lot of sharks but no white sharks. The experience was still extraordinary. We stayed long enough, the time the whole group spent, so the other boats had time to leave, so all the sharks came to our boat. We had the opportunity to dive several times for those who wished.

Cancelled trip without telling me

I called them the day before the tour because I had not heard of a pick up time at my hotel, they told me the tour was cancelled because of the weather (25 degrees and sunny forecast) and Expedia should have contacted me. I then called Expedia and they had not heard anything about the cancellation. I’d using avoid this company.

Operator response

Good day, We really regret you've had a bad experience, though we cannot predict the ocean conditions in Gansbaai. They are announced by the boat company a day before your tour and unfortunately they were not suitable for that day. Best regards,
