White Shark Africa - White Shark Tour
Join White Shark Africa for an extreme ocean adventure in an effort to see great white sharks! This is the perfect tour for your shark adventure in Africa, whether you want to view from the boat or dive in a cage in the water.
White Shark Africa, located in the coastal town of Mossel Bay, is the only white shark dive company in the area. They're also close to the popular tourist destinations of Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay, Wilderness, Natures Valley, and the Congo Caves.
Mossel Bay features the most accessible white sharks in the world! It's only about a 10-minute boat ride from the dock to Seal Island where sharks can commonly be found. The bay usually features calm sea conditions, and booking in advance is normally a safe bet.
Tour Highlights:
- Short 10-minute (approx.) trip from the dock to Seal Island
- Opportunity to see great white sharks in the water and/or breaching (May through August are the best months to see white sharks breaching)
- Chance to get in a 5 man shark cage to dive in the water

- Special Notes:
- White Sharks are wild animals to the highest degree. There are no fences and these are not territorial or resident animals so it is impossible for us to guarantee sightings. If sharks are not SIGHTED, then we offer a voucher which is valid for a year. Vouchers are not given if we have shark sightings on the trip but are unable to dive. We do not offer a "sea sick" discount. This is wildlife and it is not reasonable to expect guarantees. Having said this, the chance of encountering these rare animals is worth the risk.
