Apex Shark Expeditions

Our area is famous for the unique breaching (Great white shark hunting behavior) that takes place on Cape fur seals. This can be seen nowhere else in the world on such a frequent basis. We do also offer cage diving on the same trip so it is a great opportunity to see all types of great white shark behavior in one trip.


We cater for a maximum of 12 guests per trip with 3 to 4 crew. We have chosen to work with small groups so that we can give an intimate and educational encounter with the great white shark.

What should I know

The high season is mid April to the middle of September.
*The price is the same for diving and surface viewing
The cage is fixed to the boat and guests are allowed to snorkel in the cage. A diving certification is not necessary. For those with a scuba qualification we do offer cage diving on scuba (hooker system).
