The story

Heli-fly to Gansbaai in the morning where you’ll meet the shark cage diving experts and get a briefing for the day’s expedition

Board your private vessel for the journey to the famous Dyer Island where you’ll learn about the ‘Marine Big 5’: whales, dolphins, seals, penguins and Great White Sharks and how they interact in the ocean.

Slip into the shark cage for your turn at an adrenaline infused brush with this apex predator.

Once everyone has had a go you’ll head back to HQ and hop into a hot shower and light snack before departing to eco-luxe Grootbos for lunch, where you can enjoy a 4×4 flora safari.

Take a 4×4 botanical safari on an open-top Land Rover and soak up the serenity in shaded glades, feel the wind in your hair as you drive past fields of flowers and get perspective looking down from mountain peaks. A tour of the estate will include a visit to the nursery as well as other industries set up as the perfect example of sustainable tourism .
