Water Sports in Western Cape

If you're a thrill seeker at heart, get your adrenaline pumping on this private, full-day tour of Gansbaai from Cape Town, including a 3-hour shark cage-diving experience. Board a boat, and sink to underwater depths in a protected cage to see sharks and even whales swimming in their natural habitat. Afterward, pick your next adventure before heading back to Cape Town. Choose to go to Hermanus, Overberg, or Stoney Point.

Spend time watching one of the world's most feared fish on this 4-to-6-hour cage diving experience in Cape Town. Travel to the ocean off the coast of Gansbaai for a full-day tour. Learn about great white sharks from your marine-biologist guide, and then dive into the water in a cage to observe sharks in their natural habitat. Breakfast, snacks and hotel-pick up and drop off are included.

See the penguins of Boulders Beach from a different vantage point - a kayak in False Bay - on this tour from Simon's Town. With a guide in the lead to provide paddling instruction and navigation, you'll enjoy the scenery on the way to the best possible views of the waddling penguins. Learn about the birds' biology and behavior, as well as the surrounding marine environment, through your guide's engaging commentary as you paddle.

Combine two very different, but quintessentially South African, experiences on a single private tour: cage diving and wine tasting. Descend into the shark's natural habitat in a steel cage to see great whites in action off the boat near Dyer Island, then shower up and move on to a lunch (own expense) and wine tasting experience in Bot River. This private tour ensures the ability to travel at your own pace and personalized attention from your guide.
