BUSINESS NEWS - Cape Town is one of the top places to shark cage dive. You won’t need to go further as it is a mere 45-minutes’ drive from the city center, where you will find the best shark cage diving in Cape Town.

Apex Shark Expeditions is one of the top shark cage diving operators in the quaint Simon’s Town village. The area is known for its rich history, unique naval museums, and other attractions.

Just like the town itself, Apex Shark Expeditions has been around for many years, and with that, they have been able to create an amazing experience for not only shark enthusiasts but also for anyone wishing to see what Cape Town’s coast has to offer.

Shark cage diving Cape Town is available for guests of the smallest group sizes offered with only 12 guests onboard. This is mainly due to Apex Shark Expeditions ethos that promotes sustainability and ethical interactions with wildlife, making it a wonderful option for guests not only because it is a plus for the planet but also because that means the experience is focused on quality rather than quantity. 

The length of the trip also demonstrates this as it can be 3 – 4 hours, sea conditions permitting. Each cage diver enjoys approximately 20 – 30 minutes cage time. The act of diving is simple with breath-hold.  

They also offer hookah - a hook up to a SCUBA tank from the boat for those who want a submersible experience.

Simon’s town has great experiences to offer as the area itself is ideally located. Boulders Beach is one of these attractions, where you can go not only to one of Cape Town’s most beautiful beaches, but to see the waddling tuxedos at the Penguin Sanctuary, a perfect outing for the whole family. 

Then just a few clicks over is Cape Point where one can find one of the most unspoiled places on earth. This scenic Nature Reserve has earned its place as the eighth World Heritage site because of its rich biodiversity of fauna and flora. Apex Shark Expeditions offers a combo of this, turning a half-day trip into a full-day adventure where you get to see many of the peninsula’s most breathtaking nature.

Another wonderful thing about the little town is its deep history which is reflected in its many small and local museums such as the Naval Museum with the statue of Just Nuisance nearby and museums like the quirky Warrior and Toy Shop Museum. 

There is also a great Scratch Patch nearby for anyone to learn about stones and minerals which is also a great stop for anyone with children or for their inner child.

With the city center being only a 45-minutes’ drive from Simon’s Town, the famous V&A Waterfront is the most visited destination not only because of its diverse shopping district but because it has the Two Oceans Aquarium, something everyone who visits Cape Town should visit. 

Not only will you be able to see many of our astonishing creatures, but they offer a uniquely interactive structure, to follow and learn something new about our amazing planet. Table Mountain, and specifically the cable car is a must-do when you get the chance (when there is no wind on the mountain) The views from the top are breathtaking and a tourist favorite. 

Then Cape Town can also offer more relaxed options such as Kirstenbosch for any of their delightful restaurants or have a picnic while there, or the Groot Constantia wine route, mixing some of the best wines with the scenery of the mountains.

Cape Town’s shark cage diving is the go-to not only because of its rich and diverse reefs that are home to the shark species that humans dive with, but also because of how rich and integrated all the options are to make your time spent in Cape Town memorable.
