- T8100OKreneew0 contributionsWine Tour in place of Robben’s Island TourWe had a really great tour with our tour guide. We were supposed to go to Robben‘s island, however, the water was too rough, and it was too windy, but our driver more than made up for it by taking us to a couple of nice wineries. I would highly recommend using this service.Written 29 January 2025

- Chris H0 contributionsBrilliant day! Fantastic guide and the weather perfect ! A 'peach of a day'!!Our guide Gideon was great. He videoed us on WhatsApp 5 min before he was due to say he was caught in traffic and would be 5 min late. So good as we were running a bit late too! Very courteous. He arrived suitably attired in his guide uniform with appropriate ID and off we went. He gave a fantastic commentary for our peninsular trip and obliged us with photo stops all of the way. His photography skills were just as good. Plenty of time along the way so take snaps on Chapmans Peak and at the penguin colony, .plus we took the funicular railway up to the lighthouse at Cape Point and walked down. Fantastic views. The new information centre in the National Park is worth a stop. Presents all the archeological objects found locally in an excellent audio visual way. We stopped for lunch at Simon's Town then returned to drive through Bo-kaap and visit Company Gardens. A busy but great day. Thoroughly recommend the drive and the tour company.Written 19 January 2025

I had an amazing experience with Paul Polano Tours, especially on the shark diving tour! Paul is incredibly knowledgeable about all the towns we visited, providing rich insights that made the journey unforgettable. His friendly demeanour and passion for sharing local culture truly enhanced our adventure. The shark diving was exhilarating, and I felt safe and well-informed throughout the experience. If you're looking for a personalised tour with a guide who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Paul Polano Tours!

Lovely guy. Great experience. I have recommended it to everybody I know. The tour guide knew exactly what he was doing and made us feel safe. I didn’t have to think twice about anything. Thank you Paul for the experience, I’m definitely coming back. You made my first time unforgettable.

The trip was amazing ,
We started off the day getting picked up in sea point and we both had a coffee to start which he paid for amazing for a tour guide , he made the experience amazing and before we even got to the shark cage we where already feeling like kings , the sharks where terrifying to say the least but the guide really made it a easier experience by calming us down and really stepping out his way for my one friend who wants brave enough.
One love , I hope who ever reads this gets to experience some shark action with this homey !

Great tour and guide! Paul was very knowledgeable about the area and told about the history. We also stopped in the town of Hermanus which was very quaint and beautiful. Shark diving was a great experience!

One of your pictures shows the cage dropped down into the water and you can't see the boat. This is what we want - can you confirm that the cage drops down away from the boat? Also, what is the breathing apparatus? snorkel, scuba, snuba or hold your breathe?
Thank you, Kathy
Written 7 October 2024
Hi Kathy, all the companies that I’ve seen have the cage attached to the side of the boat. I’m not sure how they would attract the sharks to the cage otherwise. This dive was we had wetsuits but no breathing apparatus as such we had to hold our breaths which was fine.
Hope you find what you’re looking for.
