I tried to book on-line and the website would not access payment. I emailed their enquiries to make the booking and received no reply. I rang the number from the UK and got an incomprehensible person at the other end whom, although speaking English, I was unable to communicate with at all. This is a great shame given that I had had a good trip with them in 2009 and they are the most accredited outfit regarding shark conservation status and operate the best boat. I am left thinking they may not be operating any more, despite the website.

After all morning in the water, we did not get to see a shark within 10 meters (and from the surface of the boat). The company offered us to do the activity another day, probably knowing that all the clients of that day were foreigners and most of us would not have time to do the activity again. In my case, I was leaving the next day to my country, they told me that they would call me to offer me a solution. I'm still waiting for that call ...

We came in a group of 13 people which was enough to pack the whole boat but the company added two other tourists so it was too crowded onboard. The smell of gasolin was so strong that it made many of our team members sick. The cage is quite small, suitable for three to four people max, but the company put six people every time so we kept pushing each other. After coming back to the base frozen and shaking (water was 14 degrees celcium) we waited in queue for shower for at least 20 minutes. The shower and toilet are in very poor condition, it has not been refurbished for 30 or 40 years. Finally, we were “treated” with lunch. There were two salads (enough for half of our team) and veg lasagne that I could not eat. It was probably very overcooked so it looked like a jelly consisting of 60% cheese, 35% dough and 5% vegetables. It looked disgusting and tasted like pure fat (no taste) The only positive side that we saw small grey sharks really close, there were many of them.

It’s a 2.5 hours from capetown. The experience is amazing, one of a kind where you see the sharks 5cm away from you. We saw smaller sharks but no white sharks. We enjoyed this a lot. Went into the water twice, each for 10-15min. When you get out you smell like fish

Just finished our trip and we are all a little disappointed. We did not see any white sharks which is the whole point of the trip hence the name of the company. I know they are wild creatures but the guides told us during they hadn’t seen a white shark in weeks which leads me to believe they only see them once in a blue moon. At £220 for 2 people it is way to pricey and for lunch there was a vegetable lasagne which was horrible. Just choose wisely before going

An excellent experience. Professional operation and a highly competent crew. We saw 7 sharks on our trip. Highly recommended.

Fantastic trip Verry Verry good guide good pick up times no waiting and also we where a bit scared we will not have enough cage time but there was plenty of time like more than half an hour total cage time. Great adventure Thank you white venture team!!

We had an amazing time with the crew of White Shark Ventures and we saw about 10 sharks at one time at the boat. I would definitely recommend you go with this company as they also put a lot of effort and money into research of the great white. They are very well educated and know a lot about the sharks. Great experience!

This was the trip of a lifetime, I finally got to see a great white shark up close. The day started with a two and a half hour drive which was a little bit tiring. But we were given breakfast and a very informative briefing. The staff were very knowledgeable and instructive and the gentleman who gave the briefing was very friendly. Safety was very high on the priorities. We went to sea. After about 25 minutes we dropped anchor and the sharks soon showed up. We had lots of oportunities to take pictures from the deck, and then it was our turn in the cage. What a thrill, the adreniline was pumping. It was a bit tricky trying to take pictures with one hand while holding on with the other and holding my breath but I got a few good pictures. We spent about two hours at sea and then returned for some well earned lunch. A totally fantastic day, many thanks to all at shark ventures (sorry the only name I remember was Edger). Regards Dominic O'Brien.

Great experience with Dwight’s team. We really enjoyed it. The crew was reassuring, highly professional and took the time to teach us about the sharks habits. We can really see they are passionate about the subject and want only good to the sharks (which are really not considered how they should) We saw almost 20 bronze sharks and 1 white shark. (Nature gets its way) Only negative point: 2,5 hours drive from Cape Town but worth the time !!! Cherry on the cake: they have a sustainable policy and a ecotourism certification. Thanks a million for this great moment

The activity was well organized. Staff were very professional. we managed to see many sharks. It would be better if there were more shower facilities to reduce the waiting time.

An excellent, ethical Shark Dive operator. Really freindly helpful crew, some of the cost is re-invesetd into helping the sharks survive. We had a good briefing beforehand, short trip out to the site, excellent cage dive facilties, saw lots of Bronzies and a couple of Great Whites, a really enjoyable couple of hours.

We were collected from our hotel in Cape Town and driven to Gansbaai for the cage dive. From start to finish it was well organised (using what's app prior to pick up), safe and extremely educational. All the staff were knowledgeable and dedicated to preservation and teaching about the sharks and the ocean environment. Breakfast and lunch was provided which was an extra bonus.

First of all, the manager and the staff was really professional as well as respectful to the nature. We were convinced that they really love the ocean and invest in protecting it. We were given very comprehensive (almost documentary level) info about the environment and sharks. The safety orientation was also perfect that we had no second thoughts while diving into the cage. Our booking had be cancelled twice in two consecutive days because safety is first; but the communication was so perfect and timely that we managed to find alternative programs in the meantime and we could get on the boat on the third day even though we had to drive all the way back from Cape Town (totally worth it!!!). It should also be mentioned that the staff’s handling of the sea-sickness was really professional and comforting. We learned that there is no total prevention from or cure to the sea-sickness so you don’t need to feel weird even if you are effected by the motion. So, do not hesitate; just dive and enjoy!!!!!

Amazing day, up to 12 bronzes at 1 time, did see 3 great whites, biggest around 3 metre, other two were a bit smaller, at least 2 dives in the cage. The sharks were coming right up to side of the cage, all staff on and off the boat were very helpful and polite, overall really good day out
