    Getting started

    Your experience begins with pick up from your Cape Town accommodation in a private vehicle. Meet your dedicated tour guide driver, settle in with bottled water on board, and set off along the coast. Relax during the drive as your guide handles the route and logistics on the way to the shark cage diving launch site.

    Shark cage diving excursion

    What to expect

    Arrive at the shark cage diving base where your entrance fees are covered and your guide supports you through check in. After the operator briefing, you head out by boat to the dive area where you can enter the cage or watch from the vessel, depending on your comfort level. The exact time in the water and shark activity can vary with weather and sea conditions.

    Features

    • Watch sharks in their natural habitat from the safety of a sturdy cage or from the boat, with the professional dive team leading the excursion and explaining the process.

    • Benefit from included entrance fees for the shark cage diving excursion, so access to the activity is arranged in advance.

    • Travel in a private vehicle with fuel included and enjoy bottled water on board during the transfers between Cape Town and the launch site.

    Stony Point Penguins Colony

    What to expect

    After the shark cage diving excursion, continue by private vehicle to the Stony Point Penguins Colony. Your entrance fees are included, allowing you to head inside and follow the walkways to view the resident penguins along the shoreline. Time at the colony depends on the day’s schedule and conditions but allows you to observe the birds in a coastal setting.

    Features

    • Stroll along designated paths and viewing areas to see the penguins at Stony Point as they move between the rocks and the water.

    • Use your included entrance fees for Stony Point Penguins Colony, arranged as part of the tour so you do not need to purchase tickets on arrival.

    • Rely on your dedicated private tour guide driver and private luxury transfer for the journey between sites, with pick up and drop off at your accommodation.

    Wrapping up

    At the end of your visit to Stony Point Penguins Colony, your guide drives you back to your Cape Town accommodation in your private vehicle. Meals, drinks, and any wine tasting are not included, so you can plan food stops or tastings separately if you wish.
