Why We Are Different: • A dedicated marine biologist on board every trip • Our Boat (Slashfin) is the largest in the industry (most deck space per customer) and was purposely built for shark cage diving and includes two restrooms, and an upper deck for the ultimate viewing and photography experience when not in the cage. • A fully licensed Restaurant and Crew House, aptly named the GREAT WHITE HOUSE, which includes facilities such as: 2 marine rooms where professional safety and informative briefings are given before each trip + separate ladies/gents/handicap restroom facilities with a 5-star rating + curio shop • We guarantee clean, dry wetsuits (a rarity in the industry) • Our crew receives as many compliments as the Great White Sharks, with more combined experience than any other Shark Cage Diving crew. • You will leave with great memories and a deep appreciation of this majestic animal.

The Upgraded Hermanus Zip lines extends from our the mountain and zip lining over a small waterfall between the Poplar Trees and Canyon. This is a memorable experience. High above the ground (8 to 10 meters) the 2 guides will allow you to glide from platform to platform with only the local eagles and bird life noise echoing in the forest. The 9 to 12 platform slides range from 20 meters to 120 meters and with a safe breaking system you control the speed you travel at. So it could be a fast adrenaline experience or it could just be a slow easy glide high above the ground. Come and experience something different but forever memorable. To also further enhance the experience we have created a large quad train to transport guests up to the starting point – no more long walks to get to the start. The cost however for this is R25 per person (to be paid cash on the day). These funds go towards the NGO we work with closely as the operate the transport to raise much needed funds.
