๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ The water was cold so maybe more towards summer time would be best as I visited in October. Perfect guides, knowledgeable and kind. Amazingly a lot of celebrities have used this same location and they have the pictures to prove it! People often mention cage, good, shark, water,

    Great experience, good prices. We been there few years ago. One day we did cage diving + shark breaching, that was really amazing! And day after that, we decided go back and we did cage diving again. .....some day , we will be back again... I wanna see shark breaching again!!!!

    These guys were terrific. Heinrich, our tour guide was a great entertainer, shark cum Maine animal spotter, videographer rolled into one. He managed to show us more and tell us more than we ever hoped for. A good day well spent. Thank you guys.

    We went as a group of 14 friends/cousins. Tour was very professional and eco-friendly. Saw the sharks but only from above because the water visibility was too poor to see them from the cage in the water. The guide was a friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed chatting to him later in the day about some of his less smart tourist customers from the past.

    Not sure how do I rate them. They were good. But the experience of diving in the water wasn't really great. I could see the sharks, one white and one copper. Great hospitality and communication. But their swimwear and boots were bit leaky and wet. The breakfast was really good.

    Today this experience was unbelievable: in a good and a bad way. First of all the journey was amazing. But the staff was much more interested in atract the White Shark, instead of helping me to leave the cage. In the moment that I was leaving the cage, the White Shark came closer (this wasโ€™nt its first time) and the employee instead of helping me, he just pushed me, because he was concerned in bringing the shark close to the cage. Fortunately I held firmly to the bar and I fell inside the boat. But it made me to twist seriously my arm. It shows that they are not prepared. Besides of this, the cage should have more bars, because a smaller shark almost came inside the cage! The diving is really cool, but they should be concerned more about some details to be safer to the visitors, because in the end no one goes there to die!

    I would highly recommend Shark Diving Unlimited. They offer a fabulous service that includes hotel pickup, home made breakfast and lunch served before and after experience. Additionally, the stay is overly generous, kind, and most importantly privatizes safety. My dive was in January and we definitely saw sharks but only from the boat. I'm not sure if its due to the season that I went but the water visibility was very poor. We saw nothing while in the cage. But, still happy with my over all experience and awesome shots taken from above the boat.

    Amazing! Everything that they could control, was perfect. The people were all friendly and helped us have a good time. The water wasnt very clear today, so the shark watching wasnt as good as it could have been but it will always be hit and miss with mother nature.

    Feeling disappointed, regretful and betrayed. No great white sharks. Don't bother the hassle getting to Gansbaai and joining this expensive tour. I understand that wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but I'm mainly disappointed because the customer service lied to me and said they had daily sightings of great whites last week but when I asked the instructor today he said he only saw a single one last week. They lied because they want your money. I've paid 1490 ZAR but my Airbnb host said you can get tours for 1360. The tour lasted 3h15 incl breakfast, briefing, tour, debriefing, soup... Only go if you are in the area and can afford it. For a backpacker like me it was a huge financial burden
