Overview
We operate a half day tour 45 minutes from Cape Town to see a variety of shark species throughout the year according to the seasons, weather, water temperature and other factors.
We operate half day shark tours to either Seal Island area False Bay, or Cape Point as both offer very different opportunities and visibility. Possible shark species can include bronze whalers (copper sharks), Seven gill sharks, Mako Sharks, and Blue sharks.
The location for the day will be determined by the best shark activity and sea conditions and will be confirmed with you the day before your trip. The trip is confirmed weather dependent and is not shark species dependent.
