Shark Lady Adventures complies with the strictest code of conduct and safety for our clients, our boat, and the great white sharks, as laid down by local Marine & Coastal Management.

Gansbaai, the Great White Shark capital of the world

Shark Lady Adventures operates from the Kleinbaai Harbour in Gansbaai which is 160km South East of Cape Town. Just off the coast is the infamous ‘Shark Alley’ where we take you on an incredible adventure to come face to face with the great white sharks It is not uncommon to see 4m great whites as they feed on the huge local seal population. Gansbaai is one of the worlds finest locations for viewing great white sharks and other marine animals because of its pristine environment.

Our boat ‘Lady T’ anchors off Dyer Island and Geyser Rock in what is known as ‘Shark Alley’, and is home to the thousands of Cape fur seals. They dash between the Island’s shark alley which is the patrolling ground for the Great Whites, and the seals are a natural bait to the Great White.

Dyer Island is busting with wildlife, and you can hear the sound of all the birds that inhabit the Island, including the Kelp Gulls, Cormorants, Swift Terns and the Stars from ‘Surfs up’, our very own African Penguins.

Shark cage diving and surface viewing

You don’t have to be a certified diver to enjoy this incredible experience. In fact, you don’t even need to cage dive is you don’t want to.  You can view the sharks from the comfort of our boat deck and photograph them as they glide gracefully just below the surface or when they leap up out of the water and breach.

Visibility changes from day to day and is weather dependent, so even if the sea is a bit rough you will still have the pleasure of seeing the Great White Sharks from the deck, as they are surface feeders.

Shark cage diving is an awesome experience from both above and below the surface. Getting close to this most magnificent apex predator leaves you feeling exhilarated to say the least.

Get to know the Great White Shark a bit better and book your Shark Dive.
