WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IS BEST FOR SHARK DIVING & VIEWING?
South Africa, and in particular, Gansbaai, is one of the few Great White Shark Hotspots in the world, where one can view these magnificent sharks in their natural environment, in very close proximity to the boat. Shark Tours in Gansbaai are run each and every day of the year, as Dyer Island is a good place to see the sharks all year round. Shark trips to Seal Island, False Bay are restricted to the winter months from approximately May – September. The absolute best season is in our winter months, when sharks are particularly active in their feeding behaviour and the visibility is at its best. The following guide-line can be used, based on tours over the past few years. Please note that months may overlap slightly.
