A specific channel between Geyser Rock and Dyer Island, also a well known bird sanctuary, provides the prefect feeding grounds for the Great Whites and has been aptly named “Shark Alley”.

For the daring, Gansbaai offers some fo the best shark cage diving in the world, allowing visitors to view these amazing creatures in their natural habitat, and for the not so brave there are also excellent boat and land tours that offer viewing of the Marine big 5.
