Great White Shark diving trips in Hermanus, South Africa

20/3/2015

 
Great White Shark cage diving in Hermanus, South Africa is utterly incredible
Great White Shark cage diving in Hermanus, South Africa is utterly incredible
Great White Shark cage diving trips in Hermanus are the very best on the planet. Great White Shark cage diving in Hermanus is a 365 day per year activity (weather permitting). Sharks are spotted all year long.

Great White Shark cage diving has been operating here for the last 25 years. This is THE place on the planet to do it, with a hit rate of 99% all year long and some boats can see up to 10 or 15 sharks in one trip out to sea, with literally loads of famous people doing it here in recent years – including – Prince Harry, Brad Pitt, King of Jordon, Matt Damon, Katie Melua, Steffi Graff, Sting, Nicholas Cage (apt name), Richard E Grant, Ruby Wax, Colin Jackson, John Lydon, Jamiroquai, Robbie Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jude Law, Monica Seles, Michael Schumacher, Colin Farrell, Christopher Lambett, Maroon 5, One Republic, Justin Timberlake, Cameroon Diaz, Dolph Lundgren, Halle Berry filming the movie “Dark Tide” and believe it or not Barbara Windsor - if she can do it – anyone can :-)), David Attenborough and all the worlds film crews and documentary makers – Discovery Channel, BBC, Animal Planet, etc and many more.

There is NO need for scuba or snorkeling experience as it is all surface viewing and novices are very welcome. You pop on a wet suit, pop on a mask and jump into the cage, which is 3 metres high; 2 metres under water and 1 metre above it. When a shark approaches, all you do is hold your breath and duck-down into the lower section of the submerged cage. Resurfacing obviously to get another lung full of air - while probably screaming your lungs-out with excitement. Each cage holds up to 6 people in one go. You will be at sea for 3 to 5 hours.

You get included in the price - a light breakfast of coffee, tea, cereal, toast, fruit, yogurts etc; cold drinks and light snacks on board and then return to land for hot soup and munchies afterwards.

Professional DVD cameraman is also on board to capture all the action.

Cape Town you watch - new green shoots will erupt out of the ground after all that carbon fertilizer has been placed into the soil AND all the roots have (of course) been totally left unharmed - it will be a Fynbos paradise over the next few weeks/months especially with all the winter rains about to arrive - enjoy the Cape Floral Kingdom at its very best cos it will be literally blooming - and the moral of the story is - out of every small (that appears to be big at the time) problem in life, comes amazingly fabulous positivity - yeeehaaa!!! www.percytours.com

Big Cat Sanctuary, near Hermanus

Big Cat Sanctuary – near Hermanus

The Hermanus / Overberg region, is a heavenly place, so it is with much fanfare and celebration that a brand new wildlife sanctuary project is about to open very soon, which has been started by two Big Cat lover enthusiasts, South African born Lizaene and Norwegian born Cathrine.

These young dynamic women dreamt of creating a safe haven for rescued captive bred big cats – as well as, educating the public on the current global exploitation of Big Cats and their conservation

A Global Welfare Rescue Organization rescues the big cats from zoos, circuses, private collections, or locations where these cats were not well looked after and/or been treated cruelly.

Due to the past exploitations of these rescued cats, the policy and focus will be - NO petting or stroking / NO captive breeding and/or NO trading of the animals

Initially there will be 15 animals - all the males are neutered and the females are on contraceptives – once the females have settled in and have adapted to their new home and environment then sterilization will take place

The entire Sanctuary is a total of 30ha, of which 5ha currently houses the various cat enclosures/camps for public viewing, there is also a Cat Rescue Centre division – used to house the new comers to the sanctuary until they are acclimatised to their new surroundings and settled in - the latter will not be open to the public.

All the enclosures are at least two and a half times larger than recommended by Cape Nature.

Currently there are 3 visits available to the public – pre-booking is essential as a maximum of 20 visiting persons will be allowed at one time.

The grand opening is scheduled to take place over Easter Weekend, 3rd to 6th April, 2015

1. EDUCATIONAL VISITS - (R190 per adult, R120 per child under the age of 13) - open for educational visits where people can observe, photograph and learn about their predators. In addition, they will be educated on the life threatening conditions most predators face every day, and how each individual human can help to make a difference. Tour Times: 10:00am, 12noon, 14:00pm - 7 days a week

2. ENRICHMENT VISIT - (R290pp - must book in advance) Guests have the opportunity to come and, with materials provided, make their own enrichment toys for a particular species. Upon completion, the guests will then be able to see the toy or activity implemented and witness how the stimulus works together with the animals wild instincts and enriches their day.

3. FEEDING VISIT (R290pp - must book in advance) Guests will accompany the team on a scheduled feeding of the animals and participate in the handling of their food, learn where and why we place the food in specific places and see our cats in action!

There is a much more detailed product that allows for longer encounters and interaction –

4. VOLUNTEER PROJECT - The international volunteer project will offer the unique opportunity to be involved behind the scenes: daily tasks will include • Caring for the predators • Enrichment program • Preparation of food and feeding • Cleaning and maintaining enclosures • General farm work • Educating visitors

Other new ideas are also in the pipeline, such as - Corporate Team building events – more info on those in the future

As with any establishment of this nature, donations with regards to – voluntary skills, building materials, food and funds are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Percy Tours will be conducting tours to this amazing sanctuary – for booking info and prices please visit -
