Fantastic experience!!! We had beautiful weather so didn't put down the sails. But the yacht is classic and a lovely way to see the bay and waterfront. Saw dolphins diving and a shark! We had a surprise thrown in which made it an unforgettable experience!! Crew Lucky, Lucretiio and co - were awesome! Thank you - Rosemary Oosthuizen
We went on this adventure for our son's 4th birthday. Luck had it so that it was just our family of 6 on the entire boat! The crew was truly amazing and spared not effort, just out of the harbour they raised all the sails and for the next 40 minutes it was us, the wind and the ocean! What an amazing experience! Thanks you for the memories made that day! - Jannie De Wet
Spirit of Victoria is the only V&A waterfront boat I really enjoy. The feeling of being close to the water, and if the wind is right and the sails are up, that feeling of silently gliding through the waves is awesome. Plus the staff are friendly and jolly, helpful and polite. The captain usually plays his own choice of music, which keeps the mood upbeat and fun. - Julian Gerber
This was a really relaxing and beautiful way to see Cape Town with its amazing backdrop of Table Mountain. Thoroughly enjoyed our time out on the water and the crew were welcoming, warm and informative. We even got to see a majestic star fish up close! - Matthew Turnbull
Really excellent! Cool captain and crew...and the real sailing experience with spray over the boat and riding the waves...thanks A lot Johannes&Claudia - Johannes Gregoritsch
Embark on an exhilarating Shark Cage Diving adventure departing from Kleinbaai harbour in the picturesque fishing town of Gansbaai. Situated approximately 160 km from Cape Town, the journey by road takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
While Gansbaai was once renowned as the White Shark Capital of the World, our trips primarily showcase the impressive Bronze Whaler Shark, also recognized as the Copper Shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus). Although White Sharks are not uncommon, Gansbaai remains one of the premier global destinations to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

You DO NOT need to be a qualified diver to enter the cage as we use a simple breath-hold technique whilst in the cage. Children as young as 12 years old are allowed to get into the cage.
Cape Shark Adventures is committed to showing you sharks in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
In the unlikely event that we don’t find sharks we will offer you a free trip on an alternate day.
the experience was amazing, the drive there was scenic and beautiful, the car broke down on our way there but they sent another to collect us. we got some wet suits and a light snack on arrival, given the collection time l would have hoped they had a proper breakfast so l recommend eating a good breakfast before hand because its also a long drive. the team was very welcoming and they explained the procedures very well. we all got equal opportunities to get in the cage and see the sharks that was an experience of a life time. also got vegetable soup and bread when we returned which was also very disappointing given we had not had any meals all day. will definitely send my guests to them but will advise on a packed lunch and breakfast. - Monalisa Chakanyuka
It was a really out of the world experience to see a king of the underwater world. Thank you for being hospitable and the staff are exceedingly accommodating and kind. Avenue English Cape Town - gives a huge two thumbs up!! - Tonina Marinus
I had a great day. Instructor was realy clear in his instructions and background info about the sharks and protecting the sharks. The lasange was nice and the video aswell. - Rian
The organization and equipment were good. The guide tell us alot information about sharks. But we didn't see a big white shark, it was very sad. We saw only bronze sharks. I think that the price of this trip is too expensive for such result. - Marina
Great experience and great team ! Warm welcoming and clear security guidelines, all is done to live fully this unique moment. Thanks ! - Quentin

Fun & beautiful views! Would totally do again. Equipment was well maintained. The guides let you simulate the motion on flat ground first, which helps so u get an idea of what to do. There's a 30min easy hike back up from the landing point back to top of table mountain. - Elaine Ang
