Best Time of Year
Gansbaai has a al year round shark dive option, which is Dyer Island in the winter season and just off-shore from Pearly Beach in summer. Weather permitting, our tours run every single day. But the prime viewing time is in our winter months when the sharks have a particularly active feeding pattern. The following guide is based on our observations over the past 5 years. Allow for an overlap between seasons.
- Peak season:
- April to October (99% success rate) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
- High season:
- November to December (90 – 99% success rate)
- Intermediate season:
- January to March (80 – 90% success rate)
