Gansbaai White Shark Breaching
A combined trip where you will experience great white shark breaching and great white shark cage diving is available in Gansbaai. The high concentration of great white sharks around Dyer Island, Geyser Rock and Shark Alley and this makes for excellent great white shark viewings.
Due to the timing of the shark activity, this trip is only available early morning. The Sharks hunt the seals at first light so this will be an early start to the day. We are 2 hours from Cape Town so it is advisable to stay overnight the night before to make the most of your trip. This is a very special trip so worth staying over and being fresh in the morning. From July – December we have our Whale season and De Kelders where our Guesthouse is situated is the best place in the world for viewing the Whales close to the rocks (no boat needed!)
We will meet at 6:30 am at the crew house (Times may vary due to the time of sunrise) for breakfast and briefing. It will still be dark then and the excitement will be boiling over waiting for the sun to rise over the water.
After experiencing the amazing shark breaching we will return to the cage at Shark Alley and your shark cage diving experience will start. Two hours of shark cage diving will now take place; there’s no pressure and if you would prefer staying on the boat and experiencing everything from there you are more than welcome to.
When we’ve returned to the crew house you’ll receive a light lunch and coffee or tea; here you can also enjoy the DVD of the day.

We enjoyed our trip immensely. Seeing a Great White come flying out of the water, in full view, is truly a wonder to behold – just breath-taking! Thank you for taking us out, Dave. We loved it!
