Highlights of a Shark Diving Tour

Seal Island is unique in the world due to the breaching behaviour as well as natural predation on cape fur seals that occurs here.

We run the smallest groups (6 pax and 12 pax) in order to offer a more intimate and educational encounter as well as to provide better viewing opportunities for guests.

We run the longest trips in South Africa (6 hours)

Simons Town is only 40 minutes from Cape Town

All trips are either run by Chris & Monique Fallows or Rob Lawrence. Chris & Rob were the first operators to work at Seal Island and they have been working here since 1995 and are highly knowledgeable on the sharks and the area.

There are a max of 3 permitted vessels that may operate at Seal Island so the area is not over-crowded.

There are many different activities (for guests that are on the 5 day or longer packages) to entertain guests after the shark trip in the morning. Such as Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, Cape Point Nature Reserve as well as Cape Town being close by.

Client Comments

We have used many travel agents but I think that it is fair to say that the service we received from the staff at Mahlatini was probably the best most efficient we have ever received.
