A fabulous experience -- from getting pick-up by Emma in Cape Town, who took us to Gansbaai, where we were offered a late breakfast with eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt, coffee and more, to the dive where were we had an incredible experience diving with 4 sharks in close range for 20 min., being fed lunch (the vegetable soup was amazing), and finally being returned safely to Cape Town.

Good experience but we were not able to see the great white shark.
¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste de tu tiempo en el agua y que tuviste la oportunidad de ver tiburones cobrizos y una hermosa mantarraya. 🦈🌊 Lamentamos que no se avistaran grandes tiburones blancos durante tu excursión. Como ocurre con cualquier encuentro con la fauna silvestre, los avistamientos nunca se pueden garantizar, pero nos complace que aun así hayas vivido momentos maravillosos con la vida marina. ¡Gracias por acompañarnos y esperamos recibirte de nuevo para otra aventura! 💙
Incredible experience. After having breakfast at their facilities, they gave us a short safety briefing and then we boarded to go meet the sharks. Once we arrived at the spot, we formed groups of 6 people to get into the cages. Even though the water visibility conditions were not the most ideal, we were able to enjoy ourselves immensely seeing these animals up close. After getting out of the cage, we were able to continue watching the spectacle from the top of the boat, which we also enjoyed very much. Both the crew and the owner are great; they are dedicated to the conservation and study of sharks and also have charitable projects with the community, which gives this company an extra point.
¡Muchas gracias por su maravillosa reseña! Nos alegra saber que vivió una experiencia tan increíble con nosotros, desde el desayuno y la charla de seguridad hasta ver a los tiburones de cerca, tanto desde la jaula como desde el barco. Aunque la visibilidad puede variar de un día a otro, nos complace mucho que eso no haya restado nada a su disfrute. Sus amables palabras sobre nuestra tripulación, el propietario y nuestro compromiso con la conservación de los tiburones, la investigación y la labor comunitaria significan mucho para nosotros. Proteger a estos animales fascinantes y, al mismo tiempo, crear experiencias memorables es la esencia de todo lo que hacemos. ¡Agradecemos sinceramente su recomendación y esperamos volver a recibirle en Gansbaai algún día! 🦈
