Amazing experience

Our Guide (Gift Mulanda) was very friendly and we had a lot of good Talks with him! He was flexible and showed us very much.

Brilliant

Had a fab experience. Very friendly and professional team. Welcoming and ethical. Only thing that could be improved is using snorkels? instead of having to hold breath to dive but really amazing all the same! Thanks

Shark cage

We have gone to South Africa gansbaai specifically why it is the place in the world where there is the greatest sighting of the “great white” to the excursion cage with dive etc..... If there are sharks, but none are white..... They're bronze sharks all absolutely and some sea seal. It's really been a fraud why, it's not what they sell. They have disappeared from the area, due to the orcas If you are looking to see any sharks, I recommend this excursion... If it's to see the great white, don't waste time or money. Greetings.

Great experience at almost fair value…

Everybody goes with the expectative to see the great white shark (as they advertised) but I’m pretty sure that this is almost impossible due to the continuous trips they make on a daily basis to the same spot area ; sharks must be already bored ! ; but….this is something the crew/staff never will tell you, because if they tell you that the white one’s can be seen once in a life time….they won’t have the huge demand they already have for the tour ; business marketing at the end, but what is for sure is that the white shark experience is over advertised by them and this is not completely true… The staff, the crew, the installations, the equipment, the attention, etc ; is quite friendly & professional ; this is what really makes the experience unforgettable ! ; otherwise you can see common sharks at many aquariums for quite less money.

Disappointed: False advertising but good experience

We were made to do 3h30 of travel, up at 2:30 in the morning hinting that we were going to see white sharks but no... they were just brown sharks that we could have seen much closer to our hotel... we paid almost 600€ for it
