We are an owner operated licenced shark diving operator with an ethical approach to nature and the environment. Our small groups allow for an intimate and educational experience, and we often encounter dolphins and whales on our tours.
We are the top company in Simons Town on TripAdvisor and our reputation and honesty speak for itself, which is why we have been voted into tripAdvisor's hall of fame.
We offer Scuba diving and snorkelling on our trips which is just one of the things that sets us apart from other companies.

The boat passed by sea lion island where there we so many sea lions sun bathing and swimming by the boat. We also crossed though a huge pod of dolphins on the way to the dive site. We saw 3 different sharks during our dive. The crew was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this to everyone and do it again. The water was so cold but worth it.

What an amazing experience! Steph, Jason, and Ernest were a phenomenal crew - knowledgeable, nice, funny, and thoughtful. They suited us up in gear and we took turns in the shark cage. We felt safe at all times. It was not scary at all. We saw about ten bronze whaler sharks up close. On the trip back to the harbor we saw a bait ball of sardines with a thousand dolphins, some Bryde’s Whales, seals, birds, and penguins feeding. We capped off the trip with a sunfish sighting. This was a once in a lifetime experience!

Unfortunately we were unable to go on this particular tour due to bad weather but Nadine was amazing and found us another tour in a different location.

Even though the sharks were eating breakfast somewhere else, we had a great time. Saw thousands of seals and a few penguins, and even some dolphins came swimming by. The whole team was extremely nice and disappointed for us as well. Hopefully we can get back to South Africa to use our voucher!

We decided to book shark cage diving with African Shark Eco-Charters whilst on holiday in cape town. We had the best experience imaginable with this company and the team were polite, friendly and professional and they made the whole experience completely worth the money we paid for. We booked at short noticed and they got back to us later that night saying our booking was confirmed. We showed up the next day to their office in Simons Town and completed the sign in process. The best thing about these guys is that they have scuba gear to allow your to stay underwater and see the sharks clearly rather than other companies who use snorkels. The Captain and crew of the vessel were top notch and we had amazing luck on the day being able to see 30 bronze whaler sharks on our dive. snacks and refreshments were available on board as well allowing for a comfortable journey back to the harbour.
10/10 would recommend these guys again and when we come back to Cape Town later in 2024 we will be booking with these guys again.

This excursion was breathtaking! So many sharks so close to you! And the quick stop by seal island was so cool! Also the seals swimming next to the sharks was an unexpected but awesome surprise. Highly recommend this trip.

The crew and everybody involved was very friendly and professional. On the way to the Anker place our skipper stopped a few times so that we could see dolphins, seals and even a whale! While diving everybody was being helpful and I Feld save at any given point. There were up to 15 sharks at our cage. It was truly an amazing time!

sharks and great team. Everything was well organized, informative, great guides, and of course great experience. Met great solo travelers on this trip, too. I think being used to scuba diving helps

Shark cage diving was the most important event of our stay in Cape Town. We arranged all other tours around it, taking a great deal of effort. Then, three days before the tour, the operator said that the weather was going to be too rough and cancelled the tour. The operator said that he might be able to re-schedule us with an unidentified "colleague" in Gansbaai (a 6 hour round trip drive away) for the same price plus 3000 ZAR for the transportation. We understand that safety comes first and that weather precluded this tour. But this operator made no real effort to accommodate us by still charging us $936 U.S. plus 3000 ZAR in transportation to use some unidentified "colleague" at an additional charge. I would expect that an operator would value our business and go out of their way to take care of us; not upcharge us and make things far more difficult, time consuming, and expensive. Very disappointing.

The trip was cancelled days ahead by the dive operation. Very disappointed. Need a refund asap. Do not understand why a dive trip was cancelled 3 days before the dive.
