Exciting trip and not disappointed. We were kept up to date at all times. At the meeting place, lots of info shared about what to expect on the boat trip. Crew were very attentive and always on hand to assist, especially putting the wetsuits on and off. We were very lucky as we were last in the cage, so we had seen all the sharks, stingrays from top deck clearly. Only 3 of us in the cage, water wasn't cold could have gone without a suit but water a little cloudy. The sharks were up close and personal. Would have loved to have seen a Great White but it was explained to us why they are not in the vicinity. Will be back in a heartbeat if the great whites show themselves again. We also went to the penguin rehabilitation centre at the Marine Dynamics Academy, nice little coffee shop with souvenirs. Staff there were clued up about the penguins.

I did two shark cage trips a week apart with Marine Dynamics. One while staying in Cape Town and the other while staying in Hermanus. They organised pick up and return to my hotels each time which was so helpful. Admittedly I was wanting to see a great white which was disappointing not to do. Though both times I saw plenty of bronze whalers. I had a shark come right up to the cage with its mouth wide open in front of my face which was exciting. On both trips I saw a shark breech out of the water. First time 50m away and second 3m from the boat. That is really exhilarating to witness! The staff were terrific - answered messages promptly (thanks Zezam!), helped me get my wetsuit on & off and getting me in & out of the cage. They will give you a towel to use after (and blanket if necessary) and get you a hot drink. The swell both trips was over 2m which can make you feel quite seasick if you are not used to it (there is ginger for that). You can get quite bumped around in the cage so hold on! The skipper was good, the boat travels fast bouncing over the waves which is fun in itself. There is a small shop at the premises where you can purchase t-shirts, key rings, bracelets and other bits and pieces. I purchased a fossilised great white tooth. Their emphasis is on conservation which is especially important these days. Thank you for such great trips out both times.
