With nearly three decades of experience and an impeccable safety record, Apex Shark Expeditions has been Cape Town’s trusted name in shark cage diving.
Located just 45 minutes from the city centre, Apex offers much more than just a thrilling encounter with some of the ocean’s most iconic predators—it’s a gateway to reconnect with nature. Each shark cage diving trip is designed not only to excite, but to educate and inspire. Through responsible tourism, support for shark research, and thoughtful conservation practices, guests become part of a movement to protect the marine ecosystems that make these adventures possible.
Set in a secure and respectful environment, guests have the chance to come face-to-face with bronze whaler sharks and seven-gill cow sharks. Along the way, dolphins, whales, and seabirds frequently make an appearance, adding to the excitement. One unforgettable stop is Seal Island in False Bay—home to Africa’s largest island-based Cape Fur Seal colony. Watching up to 65,000 seals diving, swimming, and interacting is a truly mesmerizing sight.
Apex further enhances its ocean experiences by combining shark expeditions with private land tours. The signature combo—Cape Town’s Top Four Natural Wonders—includes visits to the famous Boulder's Beach penguin colony, Cape Point Nature Reserve, Cape Point, and the scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak. Led by expert guides, this tour seamlessly blends marine adventure with the breathtaking beauty of the Cape Peninsula.
Another standout experience is snorkeling in the Great African Seaforest, the world’s only forest of giant bamboo kelp stretching over 1,000 km from Cape Town to Namibia. Accessible from shore, this guided activity reveals an underwater world teeming with life, including spotted-gully and pyjama sharks. With a passionate dive master leading the way, guests gain insight into one of Earth’s most magical marine ecosystems.
