Itinerary

Marine Dynamics, operating in Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa, a world hot spot for various shark species - you will experience an incredible cage diving adventure on board our custom designed boat, Slashfin. An on board marine biologist will educate you as you get up close and personal with sharks and visit the famous Shark Alley. We are certified by Fair Trade Tourism and work together with the Dyer Island Conservation Trust. You will leave with great memories and a deep appreciation of sharks. We are only an hour's drive from Hermanus along a scenic route. The trip meets an hour before launching for wetsuit sizing, checking-in, educational briefing and breakfast or lunch. You will also receive refreshments on board with vegetable soup and fresh bread rolls on return; towels, clean wetsuits and masks. Enjoy your trip with our very experienced crew. The shark cage diving tour duration can be 2.5 - 3hours. Professional footage is available for purchase. A FREE PENGUIN VISIT to The African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary, is also included.

Meeting and pickup

Pick-up from hotels, guesthouse, backpackers, vacation rentals and any other points within Hermanus.
