Apex Shark Expeditions
Animals in Cape Town

Established for 16 years, Apex Shark Expeditions is a licensed shark cage diving operator. Most of these documentaries have been filmed together with Apex Shark Expeditions. 45 minutes from Cape Town, we operate shark tours to Seal Island, False Bay. Seal Island is famous for the breaching shark behaviour seen on the many documentaries on the Discovery Channel. Our crew offers an insightful experience into the world of these majestic animals and our excellence rating on TripAdvisor assures you of our high standards.

We are Chris and Monique Fallows and we're passionate about sharks and marine wildlife. Having worked at, or visited, all of the world's Great White hotspots, we're confident that False Bay is completely unique in what is has to offer in viewing shark predatory behaviour. Spending over 200 days at sea each year means we're able to give our guests the most natural encounter with sharks possible. At Apex Shark Expeditions we want to improve people’s understanding of sharks. Our expertise and professionalism have allowed us to facilitate, and even host, many well-known shark documentaries over the years. In addition to being one of the world’s leading authorities on Great White Sharks, Chris is a professional wildlife photographer and his photographs have been published in media around the world. It is Chris’s belief that the only way people develop a love for, and a need to conserve wildlife, is through exposure to it.
