With an early morning pick-up and a 2hour drive, you get exactly what you would expect, a warm welcome and a warm breakfast. Brilliant service from the ground staff at the office and on the boat too. Staff with years of hands on experience and knowledge about the sharks and are ready to answer your questions. Worth the trip when... More

White shark adventures really made our day! Since we had to get up quite early to be on time it was very nice to be welcomed with a cup off coffee and a friendly smile! Breakfast was served (nice variety and well prepared) and the introduction meeting started! Off we went, less then 1 minute walk to the harbor where... More

Marine Dynamics was the 'host' for the Great White Cage Diving adventure in Gansbaai. The shuttle picked me up at my hotel in CapeTown right on time and it was about an hour drive. The driver was great pointing out things to see along the way and we even stopped in Hermanus to see some of the whales traveling through.... More

One of the Best ever thing iv'e have done. Dive with the Great White's is a must in Gansbaai. Gansbaai is a couple of hours away from Cape Town. The Shark experience in Simons Town is good but to dive with the sharks is Gansbaai.

We went here mid-January and self drove to the location from Cape Town (approx 2 hours 20 minutes). The tour starts at their location about 1 block from the water. They provide a nice breakfast and take you through a brief safety demonstration. Around 8:15AM they take you down to the water, you board the boat and they take you... More

This trip was fantastic, even though it meant an early start the team provided us with breakfast, snacks on the boat and a great lunch afterwards while reliving the experience on the DVD. If you suffer seasickness though, it may be worth taking something in preparation! We were just so close to the sharks and being in the cage while... More

One thing to do before you die. Good stuff although I think they should reduce the price for the DVD and the underwater camera rental for 400 rand is a bit of a rip off. But the crew was nice and my husband did enjoy the 20 minutes in the cage even though everybody else on the boat was getting... More

I had my teenage children with me who also enjoyed the trip and you know how difficult they can be....... Took an hour for the sharks to turn up... More

We took our teenage kids down to gansbaai for the experience. Even though they did not have any sharks come up to the cage, spotting the sharks in the water was great. The experience on board the boat with the friendly yet professional crew who allowed them to catch fish and have fun was awesome. We had a previous bad... More
