    You will probably not see Great White Sharks, but its still very cool

    So when I first paid for this, the title of the activity was: Dive with Great White Sharks. One week ago (few days before the activity) the title changed to: Dive with Sharks, possibly Great Whites. I was told that they haven’t saw Great white sharks in ages. And we didn’t saw any on the dive either. If you pay only for seeing great white, you will be disappointed. It is roughly 300$ and the title was very misleading at first. I still loved my experience. We saw 4 bronze sharks and they were pretty impressive. Note that the water is extremely cold so some people didn’t stay more than 1 minute in it. You can still see the sharks very well from the top floor of the boat. Staff was very friendly and knowledgable. We had to wait 1h30 to finally see sharks. Be patient. Bring gravols.

    Response from the operator: Hi Stephanie, many thanks for your review, we appreciate you taking time out to write about your experience. I'm sorry if you felt the tour was misleading it was not our intention. When you saw the change in heading, you were within cancellation period, you should have contacted us to enquire why the heading changed. We could have refunded you in full. The reason why it was changed was that we usually book with our Suppliers a week prior to the tour date, when I spoke to the supplier to ask them if they had your booking as I was following up to ensure all would be perfect for your tour. I asked the Operator how was business. He then informed me that the Great Whites were not sighted but bronze and other sharks were in the area hence me fixing our content on Trip Advisor and Viator. Had we not changed it you could have said it was misleading as I was not aware the great whites were no longer in the bay. For a next time, I will personally pay for a ticket for you if the great whites return and if you are in the City, please reach out to us and I will offer this free trip for you. For the record you paid 216 Canadian not 300 and we have to pay 28% tax to our Government on all income as well as pay our partner to be on their fabulous portal! :) i'm sure you will agree you were taken and returned with a safe company We are happy to hear you have still enjoyed the experience even though you did not see the Great Whites. Wishing you all the best Faziela

    Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 2,200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shark Cage dive in Gansbaai see Bronze & Other, sometimes Great Whites start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape Town?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape Town?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
