Summary

*The trip starts between 6.00 and 12.00 from Kleinbaai Harbour, a short drive from the village of Gansbaai. However, launch times may vary due to the tides & expedited sea conditions both determined by the skipper on the day prior to the trip. *You will be notified, via the contact number provided the day before {17:00-18:00) of the meeting time. Arrival time is 1 hour before launch time. * Upon arrival we provide a continental breakfast, sign indemnities, take payments & give a safety briefing. *After a 2-min walk to the harbour, we board the luxurious, safe, custom build catamaran, Apex Predator for the 5-mile trip to our anchor spot. *The trip is 4 to 5 hours, depending on weather & shark activity. * After dropping anchor, the crew attract sharks with a specially formulated ‘Chum’ mixture. *We do NOT feed the sharks, nor use any part of a shark product. * Surface activity will give you excellent photographic opportunities when the sharks swim right into the chum line. *The crew will dress you in diving suits & masks for that moment you have been waiting for- a face to face encounter with sharks! * When the sharks appear it is simply breath-holding underwater. *Magnificent!
