Half-Day White Shark Cage Diving from Gansbaai

4.Half-Day White Shark Cage Diving from Gansbaai

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 310 reviews · from $166

Review of Gansbaai’s half-day great white shark cage trip, with 20-minute cage sessions, gear, breakfast, boat snacks, and practical booking advice.

“This was horrible- long and far from Cape Town, poor communication, and no one told us that the Great White are no longer coming around the waters they cruise. They did not even put the cage in the water and only 2 sharks came and went. NOT worth the money or the time. The only saving grace was the scenery down to the dock.”
