Gansbaai is a small town about 170km outside of Cape Town in the vicinity of Hermanus. In the suburb De Kelders, one can watch whales in the months between August and December.
The name Gansbaai originates from the numerous wild geese that live here. Fisherman established the region in the year 1881. Until a few years ago, Gansbaai was known as a sleepy little fishing village. Nowadays, this area that only had a few pubs and a small harbour as main attractions, is flourishing. The population has increased drastically.
One of the main attractions of Gansbaai is the shark cage diving off the coast of Dyer Island. Great White sharks roam through the waters off the coast throughout the year. The best time of year to see sharks is between mid January and the end of September. Please remember that between July and October the seas are very stormy and visibility is low, not to mention the cold water!
