Shark Bookings

I took the decision to see great white sharks about 6 years ago as had always wanted to do it, one of the best things I’ve done. I was fortunate enough to discover shark bookings as it was tied in with the guesthouse we were staying at (The Roundhouse). What an experience. Dave arranged everything for us and just can’t fault the service, needless to say I’ve been back every year since and wouldn’t use any other company. Highly recommended

Unfortunately our booking was cancelled due to weather but I do not like the fact that they charge the full deposit in advance and then charge a admin fee when they return that deposit. Not to mention it was a complete hassle to get your deposit back! I had to contact the representative multiple times for updates.White shark Africa charges only after the tour is done so I would have to recommend them if your interested in the tours.

Such an amazing experience all round. Dave has always been a great host every time we go and cant recommend him highly enough. We always stay at the round house with the games room, jacuzzi and pool but the actual shark dive itself is absolutely out of this world. Cant wait to be back there in October to do it all again.

Nice staff, well organized, safe but did not meet expectations at all. Cold water, choppy conditions, overbooking (17 divers for a tank of 8 squeezed like sardines) 10-15 min in the water (which was difficult as is) and the great white sitings have been excessively rare unfortunately. We saw one within 3 minutes of arriving to the point with no one in the cage. The rest of dive was uneventful except a small bronze whaler. I recognize that the animals are wild and nothing is guaranteed but I believe this tour isn’t as great as it once was. The most fish we saw was the smelly chum at the back of the boat.

We were holidaying in Capetown and visited Gansbaai for a night so we could do the shark diving. Everything was arranged for us through shark bookings which offered a very friendly and professional service, would recommend to anyone wanting a great shark diving experience.

It was a great experience!! The team was well organized, we could be in the water enough time to be able to see the beautiful sharks! ✌️

My husband and I had the pleasure of Dave Caravias helping us with all of our encounters though shark bookings and we can only say positive things about him. He emailed me back and forth for 2 months before our trip giving us info and answering our questions and continued to email us during our trip when it looked like our shark cage diving was going to get cancelled as well as our seal snorkeling which we were devastated about, but thanks to Dave, he did everything he could to make them both still work but rearranging the days and changing location if need. We are very glad and thankful for Dave’s hard working and caring attitude as well as his quick responses to emails and emailing even during not business hours when needed.We enjoyed our shark cage dive with the circumstances of it being their winter and the visibility not being the best in the water but we still saw some sharks and had a fun experience. Our seal snorkeling we ended up doing our of Simons town and the seals weren’t very playful the day we did it I guess and didn’t swim close to us but we still got to see them swimming in the water and got some film of them as well as we saw lots of whales from the boat on our trip, including one being super close to the boat!Thank you Dave and Shark bookings for helping our South Africa trip be great!

What an awesome experience, highly recommended, Dave and his team really know how to look after their clients.

What a fantastic day !I can`t thank Dave enough for helping to make this happen, a truly memorable experience. If you are ever in Gansbaai or Cape Town set aside some time for this, a morning spent diving with the formidable Great White followed by a late afternoon of pure fun cycling over the dunes chasing a magnificent sunset .Truly one of the best days we have ever had on vacation.Thanks again Dave - you are a star !
