#1. Go shark cage diving in Gansbaai, South Africa

If a trip to the Cape Town Aquarium just doesn't do it for you, you might consider to go shark cage diving in Gans Baai. This trip get you eye is eye with the most feared of all sharks!

A boat takes you to a small cage drifting in the open ocean. You'll dip into the freezing deep blue where you await a thrilling encounter with a great white shark.

While the boat goes around the bay you are likely to spot some whales aswell. Check out my pic taken from our boat while 2 giant whales dove underneath our boat. August is the whales maiting season and the best time to spot some splashing giants in Gans Baai.

Make sure you book a trip that takes you to shark alley on the way back. This is a pass between two small rock formations providing accomodation for over 20.000 seals. Shark alley forms a grand buffet for sharks passing by.
