Cape Town shark viewing trips

See the great white sharks in Cape Town with our amazing shark viewing adventures. Experience these magnificent creatures up close as we sail from False Bay into the deep blue that is home to great white Sharks in South Africa.

Cape Town is one of the best places in the world to see sharks. We are close to Seal Island where you will have a good chance to see sharks feeding during the high season.

Shark viewing tours in Cape Town:

  • Morning shark viewing trip

Get up bright and early and leave for the morning shark viewing trip before sunrise! Natural predatory behaviour is most active during these hours which will give you a great chance to do some serious shark viewing. Read more about the morning trip

  • Afternoon shark viewing trip

Besides great white shark viewing, you will also get a chance to dive with the sharks. This trip departs from Seal Island at 13:00 and you will have the entire afternoon seeing the sharks! Read more about our afternoon trip

  • Pelagic shark viewing trip

This shark tour in Cape Town lets you go free diving with the Mako sharks and Blue sharks. These magnificent sharks are our target species and if conditions permit you will be able to free dive. Alternatively we will cage dive during our pelagic shark trip
