We operate half day shark tours in Cape Town from False Bay. The departure point, Simon’s Town, is only 45 minutes from the Cape Town city center, 15 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope and only 2 minutes from Boulders Beach Penguin Colony. The shark species found in these waters include the Bronze Whaler shark, the Seven-gill shark, the Blue and Mako shark, with the occasional sighting of a Great white shark. No matter the species – your perspective will have changed forever, way beyond your wildest imagination. Whales, dolphins, and many species of sea birds are often encountered on this adventurous expedition. As we adopt an eco-system style of operating our trips, going to sea with Apex is like going on a safari game drive and we will try to take in as much marine wildlife as possible on our trips. As trips are based on natural events every trip is different and sightings are not guaranteed.
