Great White Shark Tour
More than merely a diving company, Great White Shark Tour is devoted to environmental preservation.
Only 4 cage diving companies are located in Gansbaai, the “Great White Shark Capital of the World,” and we are one of them. Great White Shark has taken the lead in urging operators to work together to safeguard the declining population of sharks and other marine wildlife off the coast of South Africa. Education of domestic and foreign tourists about the Great White Shark’s need for protection is an essential component of our campaign. We conduct daily excursions to inform visitors about great white sharks and our ongoing conservation efforts. Our cage diving excursions provide clients the chance to observe great white sharks in their natural habitat, when their elegance and beauty are most obvious.
Great white shark conservation and the protection of the marine ecosystem as a whole are top priorities for Great White Shark Tour. Our volunteer program, among other conservation and social responsibility efforts, reflect this.
In the shark cage diving sector, conducting shark research and conservation is a regulated permit requirement. Operators are also required to carry out community upliftment and outreach initiatives in the surrounding coastal towns. Joining one of our tours directly supports these causes as Great White Shark Tour is proudly and fervently committed to them.
The public’s opinion of sharks is changing as a result of our wonderful sea excursions, and we are delighted to see first-hand how fear changes to amazement and respect as our guests witness the majestic grace of these incredible marine animals.
The global conservation of sharks depends on this shift in beliefs since society will fight to defend their passions in opposition to the Jaws stigma, which leads to the annual senseless killing of millions of sharks. Being a part of this wave of transformation makes us proud. A study on this phenomenon was the result of our collaboration with Stellenbosch University, and a peer-reviewed scientific paper was published on the impact of the cage diving industry on altering the public’s perspective of sharks.
