Our shark tour was... - Our shark tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything was organized perfectly — from hotel pickup to a delicious breakfast before heading out to sea. Once we were on the water, we saw sharks up close, along with sea lions and even stingrays. It was truly unforgettable. The guides were knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience feel safe and exciting at the same time. The weather couldn’t have been better, and every detail was handled flawlessly. When we returned, we were welcomed with a light snack and an awesome video recap of our adventure. If you book this tour, make sure you tip the crew — they absolutely deserve it!

Really fun way to get in the water and see some sharks. - Came with family (incl 2 teens). Really nice boat trip and experience. Exactly as advertised. While it was quite a drive from Cape Town, it was actually incredibly beautiful and a cool experience.

Great experience! Sharks close up and personal. Excellent staff. - Excellent experience! We were picked up on time, couple of short stops for views, pics and coffee and then arrived on site. Breakfast was ready, fresh and satisfying. After quick briefing we boarded and were on site in 30 minutes. Sharks showed up in minutes - no great whites this time. Water was cold, but not that bad. Lots of time in the water, lots of copper head and blue sharks close up and some seals. Changing room on board to get into warm clothes and a hot soup lunch waiting for us. Inexpensive video documented the whole trip. Great crew, staff and drivers. We met lots of travelers, exchanged stories and had an overall blast.

No reaction, no refund - We booked this trip a little bit too late, but we got a confirmation so we went anyways. Nobody showed up, no worries that happens, we should have sent a text message first. so a mistake from both sides. However I have now been trying to get a refund for over a week now and now he is just not reacting. I will delete this review as soon as the refund is processed.
