One of Extreme Scene's most popular Cape Town adventure tours:

Cape Town Shark Cage Diving

Come and join us on one of South Africa’s most popular adventures where we take you to meet one of nature’s most feared predators in the Great White Shark capital of the world! The Great White Shark must be experienced and let us assist you in booking one of the most awesome experiences of a life time.

This is no aquarium!! Your shark cage diving expedition begins with a light breakfast in Gansbaai followed by a brief orientation on the day's activities ahead where you will experience one of the most exhilarating days of your life! You do not need certification for the shark cage diving at Shark Alley. You will be given a full body wetsuit, weight belt, booties and face mask, and the dive master will run through all the procedures of where to hold on inside the cage etc. If you are not up to jumping in the cage you can get a brilliant view of these spectacular predators from the upper deck of the boat. The Skipper will begin "chumming" (the technique used to attract the sharks) and you will have the opportunity to view from the deck or to participate in a shark cage dive as the sharks make their appearance. Time permitting, the boat will visit Geyser Island en route, to view the Seal Colony. All equipment will be supplied. A light lunch and snacks and drinks will be served on the boat.

Approximately 2 hours drive from Cape Town city centre

You can either drive there yourself or we can arrange transfer for you. Transfer options available:

Shuttle Bus collection and drop off

You will be collected by the Great White Shark Shuttle from your accommodation and transferred with other guests to Gansbaai. On completion of you day in Gansbaai you will be shuttled back to your accommodation.

Private vehicle collection and drop off

You will be personally collected from your accommodation and transferred by vehicle to Gansbaai. On completion of you day in Gansbaai shark diving with other guests you will be personally transferred back to your accommodation by vehicle. No waiting around for others during vehicle transfer as can often be experienced during shuttle bus transfer.

The Roundhouse B&B | Dive & Stay Package

The Roundhouse B&B is part of a total tourist experience in Gansbaai. We offer Gansbaai accommodation and bed & breakfast facilities in the undisputed best place in the world for Land Based Whale watching. This the perfect spot for a stay over when embarking on one of the famous shark cage diving excursions in the area.

Accommodation and Shark Trip from only R1700-00 per person

Our Dive and Stay Package offers you the opportunity to book your Great White Shark dive with a night stay at our 4* guesthouse all in one easy step. You can enjoy the Roundhouse the night before or after the dive to make your experience much more pleasant on the day. The mistake people make is to think that Gansbaai is an easy drive away. The drive is not difficult but when combining this with a shark dive this becomes a 4-5 hour return drive from Cape Town on the day combined with 4 hours on sea. Many people feel totally exhausted after the trip and regret not booking accommodation to break up the day. If you are here in the morning then you only have a 5 minute drive to the shark diving crew house easing much of the stress with finding your way here and also getting up at 4:30 in Cape Town.

When booking our Dive and Stay package you have 3 options to choose from: Standard, Luxury or Superior.

STANDARD DIVE & STAY = Standard room + shark trip @ R1700-00
LUXURY DIVE & STAY = Luxury room + shark trip @ R1800-00
EXECUTIVE DIVE & STAY = Executive room + shark trip @ R1900-00

For more information on the shark diving packages visit The Roundhouse website.

The Roundhouse B&B

Shark Cage Diving | South Africa | Cape Town | Gansbaai

Divers, who are safe in the cage, listen to the dive master explaining the direction from which the shark is coming. Divers submerse themselves. Literally holding their breath next to the boat in the safety of the cage and await that once in a lifetime eye to eye contact with the Great White sharks.

Passengers can also experience excellent surface viewing of the great white sharks from the boat's upper deck, getting an all-round view of the sharks, circling and descending. It is the ideal spot to capture some fantastic shark pictures or shoot video footage - the water is no more than 9 meters deep.

Great White sharks can smell the chum slick (crushed tuna/skipjack or sardines) from a considerable distance. In addition, our crew pulls decoys or bait lines closer to the cage and boat to lure the magnificent creatures even closer. The shark, being an inquisitive creature, often comes right up to the boat, bringing it's head above the sea level far enough out of the water that you can touch it. The banks of awesome razor edged teeth are but centimetres away - the huge gaping jaws revealing the true danger of the imminent encounter. The most feared predator of all the seas has arrived.

Magical Cape Town Beaches

Cape Town offers some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, with sunny white beaches stretching east to west. It’s no surprise that many of South Africa’s beaches have been awarded the blue flag status, given only to the most perfect beaches of the world. Part of the allure of this area is that this is where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet. The Atlantic lies on the west side and is about 4 degrees cooler. Many of the most popular beaches lie on this side of the coast, with many referring to it as South Africa’s “Riviera”. These beaches are lucky to have longer days and protection for the Cape winds, making them a very pleasant experience indeed.

One of the most notable is Clifton which is comprised of 4 beaches all together, it is no doubt one of the most fashionable beaches. The wealthy all aspire to own homes fronting its snow white sands and people fly from all over to see and be seen against the backdrop of the bright blue water, decorated with gleaming white yachts.

The East coast however has the warmer water with many hidden and secluded gems, which tourists travel from far and wide to experience. These are also preferred by local families wanting to steer clear of the crowds along the west coast. Each beach has its own particular charm however, so it’s always best to go to a few and decide which is most suited to your tastes.

If you are thinking about visiting this side of the world you are sure to be left with more than just a glowing tan, but fond memories of this captivating region and the hospitable people which reside in it. There is a wide array of accommodation options you can take advantage of such as Self Catering Accommodation & Holiday Rentals or hotels. There is plenty to choose from and they line the coast, offering a wonderful way to experience the sun and surf offered by Cape Town, South Africa.
