The First Choice Shark Cage Diving Operator For:
Apex Shark Expeditions has run specialty great white shark breaching trips for over a decade. Many of the world’s most famous breaching great white shark images have been taken during these expeditions – the ONLY photographic and natural history opportunity like this available in South Africa.
Our staff and crew have contributed to, or co-authored, more than 10 peer reviewed scientific papers on predatory behavior and our work has been seen in more than 50 world renowned wildlife documentaries including ten episodes of the famous Discovery Channels Air Jaws series.
After 26 + years in operation, we have an extensive array of connections along the South African coastline that allow us to get the best real time information on where to see the best behavior. Based on the best activity at the time of the expedition we may position ourselves at one or more of the famous great white shark locations in South Africa.
This expedition has resulted in our guests achieving some remarkable images in the past few years despite the unpredictability in exactly where and when the best great white shark activity can be expected.
Our expeditions, by virtue of the fact that our groups are small, allow us to be extremely flexible and mobile in terms of where we position ourselves each year so as to maximize our likelihood to see and photograph the breaching behavior.
Based on the best activity at the time of the expedition we may position ourselves at one or more of the famous great white shark locations in South Africa. The locations can include False Bay departing from Simon’s Town, Mossel Bay, Robberg Peninsula in Plettenberg Bay and Bird Island off Port Elizabeth. Also known as the Garden Route, this area provides a coastline of mountains close to the shoreline dotted with beaches and bays, and vividly colored wild flowers to delight the eye. Such beauty is worth seeing.
The exact locations will be confirmed once we have an indication of where the activity is best.
