Well looked after in every aspect! - Can’t fault the experience. Great pickup service. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well looked after and felt entirely safe throughout. Highly recommended. In terms of what we saw, things were more mixed, but that’s wildlife for you. No great whites but blessed to see 8x Copper sharks. Unfortunately the water visibility on the day was near zero but seeing the sharks approach on the surface was still special. Whale watching seemed doomed at the beginning, with nothing to see after the first hour (to be fair, I knew I was very early in the season). However the team persevered and found us a Bryce Whale, and 3x Humpbacks for a prolonged period afterwards. All in all a great day and some amazing memories. The only thing I would have liked was to visit the infamous shark alley and Dyer Island en route, which we didn’t on the day. Next time!!

A dream - A daydream ! Great welcome, smiles and good humor 15-20 min boat trip to quickly see a group of 8-10 sharks With cage descent 2nd trip, what can I say, except a ban of 150 dolphins, yes 150! Whales, seals and all that in good humor and sunshine! Full box, thank you!

Great experience - I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion just 2 hours outside Cape Town. Clint, our driver and excursion ambassador, exceeded expectations. His punctuality, friendliness, and detailed explanations heightened the overall experience. The shark cage diving, with a quick check-in, light breakfast, and insightful briefing, offered a fantastic encounter with bronze sharks. We even had two opportunities in the shark cage. Returning to shore, a delightful lunch awaited. With time before whale watching with Ivanhoe, Clint took me to a nearby town for shore-based whale watching. Next I checked in at Inanhoe for an informative whale-watching briefing. The boat ride led to a whale sanctuary area. Witnessing mother whales instructing their young in breaching and tail and fin slapping was truly majestic. The staff's expertise on the whales added to the overall educational experience. In conclusion, I highly recommend this excursion!

Unbelievable day - What an incredible experience. 3.30am pick up from cape town to get there for 6am. Our driver Clint was so chill and informative. Perfect conditions for the shark diving the guys were so experienced and knew exactly where to go. Then we had a 3 hour wait until the whale watching but Clint took us to the penguin sanctuary and afrikanos where we had lunch and done a alligator tour to fill in the time. Again whale watching was amazing, the driver knew his stuff, we saw so much activity. Then to the drive back where we dozed off after a long and fantastic day! One of the highlights of our trip to cape town can't recommend enough. Cheers to everyone

Sadly, do not recommend. - 10 of us brooked the shark diving (hookah) and whale watching tour. We were collected by a lovely driver in Cape Town at 415am for the 2.5 hour drive to Gansbaai. Breakfast was prepared for arrival & whilst waiting a while for safety briefing. I feel breakfast is unnecessary as those who ate got terribly sea sick and was unable to eat the lasagne they offer afterwards. (The waters are super choppy). We were aware that the great white’s non-existent now, so we’re not suprised when we didn’t spot any. Sadly, the whole experience was poorly managed. We were collected 415am for the 2.5hr drive and waited around an hour upon arrival. The dive lasted 1 hr, before we were took back to watch the video they sell. We had 15 minutes each (groups of 4) in the water but later realised we should have had 2x15 mins sessions. Most of the group found it took around 10 min to become familiar with the hookah. There was apparently loads of bronze whaler sharks but I was unable to see any, the waters are very murky. The skippers were rushing the whole time and quite frankly uninterested in us. My husband and daughter didn’t even get to take the wetsuit off before they started heading back. Whale-watching was then arranged for 1230. Meaning we had 2 hours sitting outside a closed whale watching facility (I am unsure of the company name to leave a review for them separately) . After being collected at 4:15am it was honestly a waste of time. I am a very positive person - see my other reviews- but this was the worse thing we done during our time in South Africa (and most expensive). We paid £230 pp (totalling around £2300 for the group). We contacted the company yesterday afterwards and they refunded us (£30pp) after admitting the waters were decent conditions and there was plenty of sharks so there was no reason to return early. Sadly, I do not recommend- especially for those travelling from cape.

you have to take the excursion to see the whales and seals - the water is super cold and we see one or two brown sharks...it doesn't justify the price. On the other hand, we then took the excursion to see the whales, the seal island and the penguin island and there it was magnificent: we saw thousands of seals, penguins but also hundreds of dolphins and a whale!
