Total Bait and Switch! Lame!
Every Shark Tour like this one in Capetown they take you to Gansbaai. Every tour picture to sell it shows Massive Great Whites on the ad. Also, nothing is private about any tour. Just the drive there with an Uber driver. They say private, but that's what you get. The dive is packed with people. When you arrive the town looks like a Great White Museum. Great White statues, and Every street and hotel is named something around Great Whites. Every picture in every building including tour operators shows Whites. All boats say WHITE TOURS on the side of them. You get the picture. Before you go out there is a safety briefing. They say "after this dive you will be a Great White Ambassador" they get you all excited showing videos of huge Great Whites, etc. Then at the end they say "unfortunately we can't guarantee sightings as it's nature" "what you will see is Copper Sharks, and UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVEN'T SEEN A GREAT WHITE HERE IN ALMOST 5 YEARS" I mean what a joke. We live in Florida. We see different sharks all the time. If your looking to see Whites, you won't. P.s. This tour operator is very unresponsive after booking. We tried to ask questions about what to bring, and what's provided. Zero responses!
FYI. If you do go the tour provides everything you need, towels, snacks, jackets, wet suits, etc.
