Super trip, but misleading pictures
The crew was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Although there was a marine biologist present who could tell us a lot about what we could expect. It should be said, however, that the pictures used for the trip show the cage completely in water and where you get oxygen from mask, this is NOT the case. The cage is fixed and you have to hold your breath while diving underwater. I think it is very unfortunate that you use the wrong pictures since I really had been looking forward to trying to get down with oxygen. Otherwise a wonderful trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Citi Shuttles and taking the time to review our service.

Shark Cage Diving A Great Experience
Actually getting in the cage to see the Bronze Whaler Sharks. I'm still waiting for the link to the trip video to download.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Citi Shuttles and taking the time to review our service. You will receive the video from the crew soon.

White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $281 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 White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town?
+
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 White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town 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.
What is included in White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town?
+
Included: Continental breakfast on arrival; Lunch; Equipment on boat; Soft drinks; and Snacks on boat. Not included: DVD of the day. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 183 listed pickup locations in and around Cape Town. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.
What languages is White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for White Shark Cage Full Day Tour in Cape Town?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
