Description
The departure point, Simon’s Town, is only 45 minutes from the city center, 15 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope, and only 2 minutes from Boulders Beach Penguin Colony.
The trip duration is +- 3 hours and we have two to three departures per day.
As we adopt an eco-system style of operating our trips, going to sea with Apex is like going on a safari game drive and we will try to take in as much marine wildlife as possible on our trips. As trips are based on natural events every trip is different and sightings are not guaranteed.
If the weather allows, you will also have close views of the 65 000 strong Cape Fur seal colony on Seal Island (this is the largest island-based seal colony in Africa) as well as various sea birds (Cape cormorant, Bank cormorant, African penguins & Black Backed kelp gull).
The cage is fixed to the boat just above the surface of the water.
The trip is weather and tide dependent therefore time slots are NOT confirmed times. Please ensure that you have the entire day available as times can only be confirmed the day before and are non-negotiable.
Includes
Dive gear including mask, snorkel, weight belt, and wet suit (5 mm)
Coffee/tea, light meal aboard, snacks, and refreshments
Important Information
- The trip is weather and tide dependent therefore time slots are NOT confirmed times. Please ensure that you have the entire day available as times can only be confirmed the day before and are non-negotiable.
Exact times will be confirmed the day before and are subject to change. As all our trips are weather dependent, we advise booking the earliest day during your stay. This allows us to reschedule where we have availability, when sea conditions prevent us from going to sea.
Please note: Sharks are wild animals and as such sightings and behaviour cannot be guaranteed.
