Apex Shark Expeditions – Premier Shark Cage Diving in Cape Town

Based in Simon’s Town, just 45 minutes from Cape Town, Apex Shark Expeditions offers some of South Africa’s safest and most immersive shark cage diving experiences. Combining adrenaline-filled adventure with education, Apex believes that developing a true appreciation for marine wildlife begins with firsthand exposure.

With decades of expertise, Apex has collaborated on numerous high-profile shark documentaries, including the renowned Air Jaws series featured on Shark Week. Their half-day tours provide an unforgettable opportunity to observe shark behaviour both from the deck and up close, from within a secure shark diving cage. Apex specialises in small-group trips, ensuring a personal, eco-conscious experience that maximises both safety and enjoyment.

Guests have the chance to encounter not only great white sharks, but also sevengill sharks, mako sharks, blue sharks, whales, dolphins, and diverse seabirds. Tours operate year-round to either Seal Island or Cape Point, with the destination chosen based on sea conditions and shark activity for optimal viewing.

Departing from Simon’s Town, each tour includes coffee or tea with a light breakfast, snacks, drinks, a light lunch, educational materials, and all dive gear. Passionate guides share knowledge throughout the trip, ensuring a rich learning experience alongside the excitement. Optional door-to-door transfers can also be arranged.

Joining Apex Shark Expeditions is more than a cage dive — it’s an eco-conscious marine safari, bringing you face-to-face with South Africa’s iconic ocean predators while exploring the incredible diversity of the surrounding marine ecosystem.
