You will not see great whites. Still a lovely experience.

Morissa_P, Aug 2025

The trip was very nice, and we saw a few sharks. My only complaint is the same with all of these operators calling themselves “Great White” in one form or another. With only 200 or so left in S. Africa the likelihood of actually seeing one is null, and you are not told this until it is too late. Don’t get me wrong, it was still great, but please change the name or advise customers ahead of time.

This was horrible- long and far from Cape Town, poor communication, and no one told us that the Great White are no longer coming around the waters they cruise. They did not even put the cage in the water and only 2 sharks came and went. NOT worth the money or the time. The only saving grace was the scenery down to the dock.
