Marine Dynamics should be very clear you are very unlikely to see great whites. Two spotted in last 3 months. We didn’t even go the shark alley as listed. We were all packed in like sardines for dips in the cage for 20-25 mins in 10s, to see bronze whalers. Like a conveyor belt. No real marine biology explained only plugged sales at lunch (post dip) when 50% people already left. Considering profits from 35-40 people per dive (3 a day)… ‘poor show’ all round.

What an unforgettable girls’ day out with our 3-year-old daughters, cage diving with Marine Dynamics! The staff were so friendly and made sure we felt safe and comfortable every step of the way, which made all the difference with little ones in tow. We were lucky enough to see 12 sharks, a ray, and even a seal—the excitement on the girls’ faces was priceless! A huge thank you to Wilfred for the adorable penguin teddies the girls got to take home—they’ve been carrying them everywhere since. It was such a special experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for families. A day we’ll be talking about for years to come!

Even though we did not have great weather or visibility in the water, we still had a great time. Even when you cant see the sharks well underwater, you can easily see them from the upper deck while watching the other groups. Other reviews have complained about no great whites or bad weather, BUT if you do your research you know going into this tour that great whites are NOT often sighted in South Africa anymore. This is also not something that the staff can control, nor can they control the weather. We did still go out on the water even though it was very choppy and there was high likely hood of us getting sea sick. Staff was happy and knowledgable and they also took photos of the sharks that turned out better than any pictures I had taken.

Everybody who comes to capetown, must try this. Its a once in a lifetime experience. The marine dynamics shark, are really the best to go wirh. You will have a great experience with them. There guide Amy knows all there is to know about sharks. And they really help tou out a lot.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. Saw a ton of bronze whaler sharks, a whale with her calf, seals and penguins. Only complaint is that the included breakfast and lunch were too meager. I can understand going with a plain small breakfast before a rough sea trip to stave off sea sickness, but soup and a roll is not enough lunch after being up since 430 am and still having to drive 2.5 hours back to Cape Town before you can have a real meal.

Amazing experience! Our guide, Suzie & team were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We were even treated with a visit from a stingray. I highly recommend Marine Dynamics

When we arrived they were really accommodating and polite, there was free breakfast which was delicious, the safety briefing was quick and informative. Up until this point i had no complaints HOWEVER, instead or cancelling the boat or letting us know that the water was extremely rough today, they decided to still take us out without warning. The water was so rough it made myself so sick. This was the absolute worst experience of my whole life. I kept asking to get off the boat- i offered them $5000CAD to get off. I asked if another boat or helicopter or anything could come they said no. I was also not the only one that was sick- i believe there were 27 of us on board and only 7 people didn’t get sick. The volunteers were polite and asked if we needed anything multiple times and kept taking our barf bags and discarding them (koodos to them, what a job). I would have been less mad if they just took my money and said no boat today. This has completely ruined my experience on boats and i am pretty confident due to this experience i will never be getting on another small boat for an activity again. If you are going to take this tour and dont have an extremely strong stomach PLEASE ask them how the water is prior to boarding and save yourself- its not worth it.

Well organised, safe. Got to see large 3.5 metre sharks, rays and southern wright whales on one trip. Beautiful drive back to Cape Town

This was a very exciting trip! The sharks swim right by the cage! The pickup was right on time and everything went so smoothly -its a very organized and experienced company. They served us breakfast with a safety overview before going out on the boat; served hot chocolate on the boat; and then hot soup when we got back. We saw about 8 sharks.

We had an exceptional experience on the Marine Big 5 tour, where we had the pleasure of spotting seals, whales, and penguins. As with any safari, sightings can vary, but the team made the effort to show us as many animals as possible while keeping us well-informed throughout. We were particularly impressed by the company's commitment to penguin conservation. Visiting their center to see the penguins being fed and swimming was incredible!

Cage diving with sharks has been on my bucket list since I was young, and I finally got to do it with Marine Dynamics. All the staff and volunteers were very accommodating and engaging, making me feel well taken care of. Got to see several bronze whaler sharks but unfortunately didn't see any great whites. After all, it was worth a try. I'd recommend it.

My family did the shark cage diving trip with transportation to/from Cape Town. Be aware that it is a long drive with an early pickup time. The sky was dark on the drive, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the way home. As for the shark dive...we enjoyed seeing 9 sharks during our outing. However, there were no great white sharks (which are rarely seen anymore) and the visibility was very poor. This comment in no way reflects poorly on Marine Dynamics. They were fabulous hosts!!! Unfortunately, nature does not always cooperate so be prepared.

Our family was picked up in Cape Town by our driver for our over 2 hour trip to Kleinbaai. When we arrived there was a breakfast and orientation. It was a 15 to 20 minute boat ride out to the dive site near Dryer Island. There were snacks available on the boat. The staff was very accommodating helping us get on our wet suits. We saw Bronze Whaler Sharks, a stingray, and penguins. When we got out of the water there was a hot fresh water shower and hot chocolate waiting for us. Then when we went back to the Great White House there was warm soup. It was an amazing experience and everything was perfectly planned out.

This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. Within minutes of being on the boat a huge humpback whale breached and we hadn't even gotten to the dive site yet. The captain stopped the boat so we could see the whale in all its magnificence. We then saw penguins and a seal frolicking along. Once we reached the dive site it was very exciting. Not only was a friendly seal entertaining us but sharks were out in full force. We saw several copperheads and a 7 gill shark. My family was given a full 30 minutes in the dive cage and the sharks were close enough to touch. One even bit the cage next to my son and he was thrilled to have it captured on video. The only thing that wasn't great was the breakfast/brunch before we left. It was a one dish pasta and chicken. But we weren't there for the food and the experience was just worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Great experience diving with sharks didn’t see any white sharks due to the orcas in the area but what a fantastic trip we saw bronze whalers the biggest up to 3.8m large stingrays seals as well Big shout out to Amy she was the tour guide on our boat great knowledge and doing a wonderful job a trip very much worth doing
