Amazing tour - They have a very good tour. Explaining everything and setting our expectations for the true: white sharks are nomads and they have been very difficult to find in Gaansbai. But there are other amazing sharks in the bay. Our dive was nice with at least 5 big sharks, none of them was White. Friendly staff and good light food.

Amazing experience! - What an amazing experience. All crew we interacted with were super friendly and professional. We had a delicious breakfast to start. The briefing given by the skipper was thorough and clear. They make you feel very safe. We had plenty of time in the water. Afterwards we had a nice lunch and the opportunity to have a hot shower after being in the water which was so refreshing. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent experience - Fantastic trip. So pleased I chose this company as they had a smaller boat, compared to others I saw out there. Strong conservation focus. Dive was excellent, felt completely safe at all times. Got very close to 4 bronze whaler sharks. Staff back at base very friendly and helpful too, providing refreshments. Would highly recommend

They were very helpful and the shark expert was very accommodating and informative. I would highly recommend this - I enjoyed this real live perspective of sharks and the experts take on the critical state that sharks are experiencing. Hopefully others will relay this message

You have to do this :) - A unique experience in life seeing these beautiful animals from close and personally. The entire crew on board made us feel welcome and relaxed throughout the trip. The bay is absolutely stunning on the way to the dive site. You can sit on the top deck and watch the sharks while waiting for their turn to dive. It is completely safe and you can see these beautiful animals from close and personally. It's just out of this world. Then you get the video and the photos uploaded to your phone, which was very good. This tour made our trip. You have to do this if you're in South Africa.
