Africa is a continent full of animals, and not just on land!

Travel to Gansbaai and enjoy a light breakfast before proceeding to the channel by Dyer Island, a short boat trip of approximately 20 minutes. Named after Samson Dyer in the 19th century, Dyer Island is a breeding ground for marine birdlife, while nearby Geyser Rock is home to approximately 50,000 Cape Fur Seals. As a prime breeding site for these animals, the area is a natural magnet for the ocean's deadliest predator.

Check out the sharks with a surface view, before slipping into your wetsuit to join these misunderstood creatures in their natural habitat. Choose to snorkel, or scuba cage dive (must hold a valid scuba diving certificate) with the magnificent predators in their natural feeding ground. This is a rare opportunity to share the water with the top ocean predator, and feel the ultimate adrenaline rush as it looks you in the eye with curiosity and maybe a touch of menace!

If you don't want to enter the water, you can remain on the boat and enjoy the surface viewing. Being a surface feeder by nature the sharks swim close to the boat, therefore view onboard is superb and photo opportunities are lurking everywhere. If you are lucky, you may even get the opportunity to witness a spectacular breach as these huge creatures launch themselves clear of the water surface in the hunt for the next seal meal!

An exhilarating experience for those wanting to explore the world of the endangered Great White Shark. An unforgettable and unique memory to take away from Africa.

The Great White shark cage diving season can be divided into three periods:

• High season : May to October
• Intermediate : April, November, December, and January
• Low season : January, February and March

Your tour takes you over a mountain pass to the seaside town of Hermanus, built along the shores of Walker Bay near the Southern Most tip of Africa.

The town, nestled between magnificent mountains and the sea, offers some of the best shore based whale watching opportunities in the world (August to November). Visitors travel from around the world to witness the giant Southern Right and Humpback Whales from the Hermanus' shoreline and cliffs.

Hermanus has it's own whale crier, the only one in the world. So if you encounter a man with a feather in his hat, wearing a sandwich board around his neck, and patrolling the streets blowing a weird looking kelp horn, don't panic - it's the whale crier! He is merely letting people know the whereabouts of the whales with different horn codes. Read the sandwich board for the key to these codes.

Return to Cape Town in the late afternoon via Elgin and Sir Lowry's Pass.
