Amazing experience - The whole trip was amazing, it’s really a must do while in Cape Town!!!! Excellent service from nice, funny, clever and knowledgeable guides, supporting us during the day. We had great weather and clear water, so the view was fantastic both from the boat and for the ones observing from the cage. Snacks and beverage were also included.

Awesome exerience - It was a great experience especially because they are there to help the ocean life, sharks and penguins. They are honest about what you will and will not see, and the guides and photographer were great. We saw 7 sharks, a playful seal and dolphins playing - and about several hundred seagulls :) The soup at the end when we got back was super delicious and really hit the spot and stop off at the penguin conservation spot was awesome. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Amazing scuba diving experience in Cape Town! - A real diving center in Cape Town!
A family center, super welcoming and professional!
Both divers and parents of two little girls. The Shark Explorers dive center offered us 2 beautiful day dives (seal diving + a dive in search of Sevengill sharks) with our children as companion on the boat.
A real pleasure to be able to dive as a couple knowing that our children are pampered on the boat. They loved their excursions!
Another big thank you to the whole Shark Explorers team!
If you are divers you should not miss this great diving opportunity! we have taken full view (seals, corals and SEVENGILLS sharks!)

Down cage, down cage 5 Stars - Wow. Fantastic. Early start to take advantage of good weather.
On the way out of the Bay we saw whales. They flapped and breached several times.
Then onto Seal Island. 60k + seals!
Then the main attraction. It exceeded all expectations.
We donned our wet suits. We plunged into the cage. Actually quite warm. Chum, tuna and white tail fish and guts attracted seals and sharks.
We saw 6 Sharks. The largest Bronze was 2.8m.
It's an incredible experience. 5 stars. Worth every penny. Don't hesitate to go out with Shark Explorers.

Gimme A Shark, Please!!! - An Absolutely pleasurable experience. Sharks or No Sharks, this was not even a conversation. From the time you walk into Shark Explorers Space, their experts namely, Lindi, Ernest and Jason were immediately interactive. It was never an option to think that we might not see any Sharks. The Trip in and out of False Bay was set alive by The Captain, Stephan. You couldn't ask for better company with the intensity that gets everyone excited. We had 3 Sharks on Saturday Morning. The weather was perfect. The water was clear and All Strangers on-board were so very, very interactive with each other. This is so on point for a 4-hour trip in a boat and Trust me - The Shark Explorers team is Magnanimous in their Character and Knowledge.

Best Shark Experience - Safe, Fun and Exciting - We had an amazing experience with Stephen and the crew. They were so friendly, experienced, safe and fun. We had a great day of weather with 5-6 metres of visibility, so much sea life. We saw Pilot Whale, 5 x Bronze Whalers and loads of seals. Stephen and the crew were experts at drawing the sharks close to the cage so we all got to experience it. There were yummy snacks, toilet, and drinks (water/soft). The seals come so close and play and dart around the cage as well as the Sharks. The Sharks come right up close, you feel completely safe. The water was very comfortable with the wetsuits, could have stayed out there all day.
We were a bit nervous going out and planning for it but as the crew told us when we boarded the most dangerous part is stepping onto the boat at the docks. When getting in and out of the cage it felt so safe and when in there all you wanted is to see more sharks and them to come up close.
Was the highlight of our South African Cape Town trip.

Friendly crew but didn’t see sharks - Crew were amazing. Didn’t see any sharks. Sat in cage for ages and didn’t see anything. But the crew were friendly. Snacks were good.
