Itinerary

 

*Please note that this tour rate is based on a minimum of two guests. Should you be just 1 guest you will need to pay double for the tour portion of the trip.

08:30 Pick up from your hotel
09:30 Arrive Cape Point – Breathe in the cleanest air and see the cleanest ocean. The area is of rich cultural and historical significance and includes monuments to early explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Bartholomeu Dias.

Visit the curio shops and restaurants or relax.

11:30 Arrive Boulders Beach Penguin Colony – Home to 3000 African penguins, so called for their hilarious braying. See these delightful creatures up close and personal in their own inhabitant.
12:30 Arrive Simon’s Town – Apex Shark Expeditions shop – Afternoon Shark trip

The sole focus of this afternoon trip is cage diving and surface viewing. Although you stand a chance of seeing the natural predation and breaching, this behaviour mostly takes place in the early morning. We do on most days observe good numbers of sharks around the boat and this is a great opportunity for cage diving and surface viewing

12:45 Meet crew at Simon’s Town Pier. Guests are welcomed aboard.
13:00 Depart for Seal Island. (25 to 35 minute boat ride)
13:30 – 16:30 We decide the best spot to anchor up based on weather conditions and we attract sharks to our vessel. Once a shark approaches our boat, a bait is placed in the water to keep the sharks interested and around the boat for identification and viewing purposes. At no point are the sharks purposefully fed or handled. If the weather conditions are favourable, the cage is lowered into the water for cage diving. Safety precautions are then explained to the diver wishing to enter the cage.  It is important to know that the sharks come very close to the boat, so for those not wishing to dive, they will still have excellent views of the Great White Shark. Snacks accompanied by soft drinks, fruit juice, bottled water are available.
17:00 Boat will arrive back in Simon’s Town Harbour depending on the weather conditions and shark activity.
17:15 Transfer to your hotel.
