PENINSULA WITH
GREAT WHITE SHARK SAFARI (Private Full-Day Tour)
 Depart before daybreak for Simonstown harbour for a boat trip in
search of the super predator of the oceans, the Great White
Shark with international shark experts, Chris and Monique Fallows. (Subject
to availability.)
The Fallows have studied Great Whites since 1989 and were the first to film the
now famous Great Whites of False Bay in the rare (and until-then, relatively-unseen)
act of “breaching” (launching themselves out of the water) in their
pursuit of Cape Fur Seals they hunt in this area.
Our search for Great Whites includes one of their typical haunts, Seal Island,
home to some 60,000 seals, as well as a host of sea bird species. The main
focus of the Safari is on natural interaction with the sharks from the boat,
observing natural predatory behaviour with a tow using a fake cut-out carpet “seal” decoy,
employed to encourage the sharks to “breach”.
Light lunch, snacks and soft drinks are served on board. Return to port
around 2pm for a visit to the nearby African (Jackass) Penguin Colony at Boulders
Beach. A short trip to Cape Point, the south westernmost point of the continent,
wraps up our ocean adventure.
Note: The best time to see Great Whites hunting is May to Sept., with sightings
least likely from Nov. to March. Safaris are dependant on weather and are at
the skipper’s discretion. A warm jacket and binoculars are strongly advised.
NOTE: Shark Safari portion is scheduled, transfers and Peninsula are private.
