We operate a half day tour 45 minutes from Cape Town to see a variety of shark species throughout the year according to the seasons, weather, water temperature and other factors.
We operate half day shark tours to either Seal Island or Cape Point as both offer very different opportunities and visibility. Possible shark species can include Seven gill cow sharks, Mako Sharks, Blue sharks and Great white sharks. The location for the day will be determined by the best shark activity and sea conditions and will be confirmed with you the day before your trip.
One of our areas, Seal Island, False Bay is famous for the predation of Great Whites on Cape Fur seals The area and this behavior have been featured on many documentaries including Air Jaws on the Discovery Channel with Chris Fallows, our owner, as co-host.
We see a variety of shark species throughout the year according to the seasons, weather, water temperature, and other factors so all year round. Trips are weather-dependent and not species-dependent. There can sometimes be variations to the departure times as a result. Please allow flexibility in your itinerary to cover slight variations to the scheduled times.
We will pick you up or drop you off in the Cape Town area. Please indicate where you would like to be picked up or dropped off. Collection times will be advised the day before VIA EMAIL and can start anytime from 06h00 or 07h00.
