About this activity

We operate a half day tour 45 minutes from Cape Town to see a variety of shark species throughout the year according to the seasons, weather, water temperature and other factors. During to August to May we operate half day shark tours to either Seal Island or Cape Point as both offer very different opportunities and visibility. Possible shark species can include Seven gill sharks, Mako Sharks, Blue sharks and Great white sharks. The location for the day will be determined by the best shark activity and sea conditions and will be confirmed with you the day before your trip. The trip is confirmed weather dependent and is not shark species dependent.

Couldn’t be better

I was looking for a shark cage diving and found Apex being the best choice for me - and I was right! Easy transfer from my hotel with a great chauffeur. Took the boat to Seal Island and then to False Bay where we encountered a couple of Bronze Whaler Sharks. A bit bumpy on the boat which led to me feeling seasick and then the staff were very helpful! Would highly recommend Apex!

Shark Cage Expedition / Wine Tour

This was an extremely fun, educational and exhilarating experience… The crew was outstanding- explained all aspects of the day - and seeing two new species of sharks was something we will never forget. Watching a seven gill shark and bronze whaler swim by the cage was something I never thought I’d get to do- and I’ve spent the last 15 years diving with sharks around the world. Apex gives you a guide to all the life you may see during the day - and we passed by Seal Island and saw common dolphins riding our bow. Apex is a must do if you’re in Cape Town. But wait there’s more… we also signed up for the wine tour. After diving with the sharks our driver (who was a great guide) took us to South Africa’s oldest winery where we toasted the sharks we’d seen - and enjoyed a variety of wine. After three weeks in Africa - this was one of the highlights of our journey. Thank you Apex! We will be back.

Awesome Trip

It was one of my bucket lists. The captain of APEX SHARK EXPEDITION and his crew were very helpful when we went out. They made sure everyone felt safe. It was an experience to remember. Would highly recommend APEX to anyone. Great job guys

August ‘22 Shark Cage Diving Trip

Had a great trip out of Simon’s Town to Seal Island and then shark cage diving in False Bay. Saw four bronze whaler sharks. All the guides were very pleasant and were happy to answer any questions. Felt very safe throughout the whole experience. The water is very cold, but Apex provides great wet suits, booties, masks. Make sure to pack warm clothes to change into afterwards. Thanks for the great experience Apex!
