Marine BIG 5 & Shark Cage Diving

Begin your day early with a trip to Gansbaai. You'll be picked from your hotel  between 5 and 6in the morning and taken to Gansbaai, where you'll be greeted with a cup of coffee and a nutritious breakfast as we handle check-ins and address any questions you might have. A marine biologist or will provide a detailed safety briefing and explain what to expect at sea before you have your life jackets and board the vessel, just a short distance away. Cage diving offers a safe way to encounter sharks up close, with a securely attached cage accommodates up to six people a time. No diving experience is necessary; you'll simply hold your breath while enjoying this thrilling adventure. Each dive lasts around twenty to thirty minutes, giving you ample opportunity to capture photos and admire these magnificent creatures, with the option to enter the cage twice if desired. Onboard a viewing deck provides excellent visibility, and the custom-built vessel makes movement and observation easy. Enjoy refreshing drinks, including water, soft drinks, and a fruit basket,  awaits you upon your return—homemade vegetable soup, fresh bread rolls, or a selection of toasted sandwiches. Afterward, prepare for an unforgettable whale watching cruise to meet these graceful, gentle and extremely intelligent giants up close. South Africa is renowned for whale watching, particularly for Southern Right and Humpback Whales between June and November, as well as large pods of dolphins and Bryde's Whales year-round. Every year, Southern Right Whales migrate from icy feeding grounds to warmer waters, arriving in South Africa in June. After the cruise, you'll be transferred back to your accommodation, perfectly for dinner.
