OUR MOTTO

CARE | PROTECT | EDUCATE

CARE

We care because we are privileged to enjoy a large number of marine species along our coastline.

PROTECT

We protect so as to conserve and keep our marine resources and species alive for future generations to appreciate as well.

EDUCATE

Education is where it starts. We educate our youth as they are our future and only hope in saving our magnificent yet fragile planet.

WHAT WE STAND BY

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Owing to massive negative media publicity over the years, the Great White Shark has become one of the most maligned, misunderstood, even hated animals on our fragile planet.
It has been pursued, hunted and indiscriminately killed, over the years, to the point where its continued existence hangs in precarious balance.

If we can dispel some of the hype and myth, and the fear which surrounds this magnificent creature, and even if through our operation, we only introduce some element of objective perspective to the people that we come into contact with, then we have, at least, made some contribution to maintaining the natural balance in at least one ecosystem, in our communal home, Earth.

What others are saying

We had such a great time here!

The tour guide was fabulous and funny. We had such a great time here!! We did take a while until we finally spotted 2 small and one big shark… Had fun in the waters, when it splashed water into my face with its ‘tail’. We then moved away for the other guys in the other boats to have access to them, such a spirit made me value the company.

Very cool experience

Wow. What a day out.

Wow. What day out. I went here for my birthday and let me tell you, I had a sharkingly good time! All the staff, crew and other people in search of Great Whites like me were all chummy and Great. The ride out was exciting, there was birds flying with the boat, we saw a big ol’ Stingray, 3 Great Whites and a Bronze Whaler too, it was a whale of a time. If you like these beautiful animals, then go with these guys, you’ll hopefully see a Great White, then get back to Cape Town for a Great night!
