21/04/2013 - My husband and son-in-law had an experience of a life time. We had stayed at accommodation in Gansbaai and ventured to the site to be there at 6.30am, on arrival there was a good breakfast on offer. My husband was extremely nervous to go on this trip, he ensured on checking out the cage and boat before departing.... More

1 st : When booking this trip at the V&A waterfront we were told that they had a professional photographer on board who would be making footage and filming the entire adventure for R200.00. We were told on the day of the adventure that the footage would be edible. Well, the footage was not professional at all - very poor... More

Dear Sir We do acknowledge your frustration and the fact regarding misinformation. However, do bear in mind that you booked your shark trip through a booking agency that only secures space with our company as per our own availability. That might have been also the reason for the later trip meeting time. As per the air supply system: the system... More

After being picked up from our hotel at 7 am we had a 2 hour drive to Gansbaai for our shark viewing. I booked this shark dive in February through an agent for White Shark Adventure and advised them of my husbands mobility problem. The agent advised this was not a problem, however he did not tell White Shark Adventure... More

We were picked up at 4am in Cape Town and driven onsite near Hermanus in a little over 2 hours. Breakfast was eggs, toast, muffins, coffee - all quite nice. We headed out on the water in some fairly big swells, but overall the sea was very calm. That didn't stop one passenger from getting seasick - but what a... More

White Shark Adventures offered a wonderful experience at a very reasonable price. They picked my up at my house and drove us 2.5 hours to the location. During our trip, we saw five different sharks that were up to 15 feet in length. The boat and gear were is excellent condition and the staff was very knowledgabe and friendly. I... More

The sea was rough with huge rolling swells & this 35' double hull boat flies on 2 x 250HP outboards. We were airbourne a few times. After 30 minutes we anchored. We donned wetsuits as they put the shark cage in place (1m x 3m x 2.5m). The aluminum cage is tied to the side of the boat & floats... More

I got a little sea sick but the experience was still great. Seeing massive great white shark within inches of the cage and even in some instances banging against the cage is exhilarating. I would do it again!!! I even got a chance to see a few whales at a distance.

I was told the driver would pick me up at 6 am, but to my surprise they called the day before and said I would be picked up at 3:30 am. I won't have been a problem if I had know up front. I was very happy with the breakfast before, the crew, shark sightings and lunch after. My only... More

The trip itself was ok...No seasick tablets provided. I was more upset about the customer service afterwards. Whilst onboard the sharks were not in abundance, we were promised vouchers which never materialised. None of my phone calls or emails had the courtesy of a reply. A great waste of time and money.

I am so glad I went and tried, it was an incredible day out, very good value for money and one of those experiences that you must have once in a lifetime. The sharks took... More
