Shark Cage Diving with Calypso Star Charters

This experience was next level good! Shark cage diving and snorkeling with sea lions was absolutely unforgettable. Skipper Dave and Georgina were fantastic—they were professional, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The whole adventure felt safe, exciting, and well-organized. The sea life was incredible, and the adrenaline rush from being up close to sharks was something we’ll never forget. If you’re into wildlife and adventure, this is a must-do!

It was such a great day out! We had an awesome time with Calypso Swimming with Sealions. The crew were super friendly and made sure we were looked after from start to finish. The trip out was really pleasant, the food was tasty, and the whole vibe was relaxed and fun. The sea lions were so playful – it was amazing to be in the water with them. You can tell the staff really care and go out of their way to make the experience special. Highly recommended!!

Everything was beautiful — my partner and I were lucky enough to see two white sharks, a dream come true. Thank you for offering this experience — the staff really brought the good vibes. That said, I do have one major concern, for the sake of the sharks. We witnessed one of them slam full force into the cage, break its nose tube, and swim away — it never came back. We caught it on the GoPro, and honestly, it was horrible to watch, both live and on the video. I strongly recommend placing the bait farther from the cage, not directly on it. The shark didn’t deserve to suffer like that just so humans can have a thrill. Please, do it right — all the way. One other thing: one of the girls on the crew didn’t stop yelling all day, talking loudly about personal things — we basically learned her life story. It gets annoying when you're trying to enjoy a unique experience and someone’s shouting next to you the whole time. She still did her job well, just maybe ask her to keep it down. Thanks again and best regards

Bucket list stuff right here!! Can’t thank the crew at Calypso star enough. My wife and I booked the shark dive and sea lion swim and 3 weeks later I am still lost for words!! After a 1.5 hour drive (remember to take a box of qwells with you) we arrived at the cove where the sea lions live. So much fun swimming around with these little guys for about an hour (Was too excited and forgot my GoPro on the boat) Jumped back onto the boat for another 1.5 hour drive to the shark dive location. Lunch was served while this was happening (thanks Ollie for the beautiful lunch) Pulled up at the shark dive spot and anchored. After an informative run down of how the next few hours would be spent the cage was lowered into the ocean and it was shark time!! After 30 minutes we were greeted by 3 different great whites. An incredible experience that I will never forget. Dinner was served once all groups had jumped in and it was time for another dive if you wanted too. The ride home was beautiful watching the sunset over the ocean, a few dolphins joined us throughout the trip back and of course we were able to sit back and watch our GoPro videos with an ice cold beer! (Only allowed to drink alcohol if you are NOT DIVING! The crew are VERY serious about this and rightfully so) Thanks again to Calypso star but mainly to our crew, Andy, Dave, River and Ollie, you four made the day/experience one to remember! This is an absolute must if you visit Pt.Lincoln

Can’t recommend the sea lion tour enough, one of the best nature experiences. The “girls” were excited when the crew arrived, and we were lucky enough to be there. Dolphins bow surfing and sea eagles on the away back. Thank you Takka, Bri, Sophie and Chris.

Absolutely love these guys! We did two trips over two days and swam with both Great White Sharks and Sealions. Very professional outfit and the staff were all lovely and very attentive. Special shout out to Caitlin who we had on both trips, she was a legend!

My partner and I did the great white shark cage diving on 28/05/2025 and simply put, had the best experience ever. Calypso Star Charters have put so many things in place to make your experience a great one, regardless of whether you see a great white or not. Fortunately for us, we did see 4 different sharks on the day and everyone on the tour got a good look while in the cage. However, even if we didn’t see a shark, my 5 star rating would not change. Ample breakfast, snacks (morning and afternoon) and lunch for everyone on board (which was delicious), friendly and informative staff and great safety briefs. On the way out we were lucky enough to see whales, and when spotted they slowed the vessel down and pointed them out so everyone on board had the chance to view them. They’re also very eager to share information about the sharks/their experiences and eager to make your experience once that you won’t forget. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, even if you don’t want to jump in the cage, there’s plenty of great viewing opportunities from the boat! If I could recommend one thing in Port Lincoln, it would be this!!! Photo of one of the sharks I came face to face with!

Not enough superlatives to describe the tremendous adventure. Brooke, Annie and River were fantastic. Not one thing. Thing would I change their enthusiasm, attention to detail, friendliness desire to help the crew each other and the guest were phenomenal. A thing of beauty. The world needs more people like them. The shark did his part showed up on time. So we'll keep him coming back.

Amazing experience! This is a must do adventure. The boat ride out to the Neptune islands was a bit long, but the entire experience was fabulous. The staff were all amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. In particular the captain, Dave, was incredibly patient and supportive helping my wife and daughter get comfortable and in the cage. Cannot recommend this highly enough! Also, get the photo package - no question about it.

My husband and I went on their great white charter while in Australia. Unfortunately we did not see any sharks but they whole experience was amazing. The crew, food, and service were great and we even managed to catch a fresh tuna. That has been the freshest sashimi I've had to date. We chose them because they were very transparent with their sighting record and had a solid no shark policy compared to other companies. The group size was perfect, giving everyone ample time inside the cage. Their suits and equipment were comfortable and in good condition. Even though we didn't see any we enjoyed our charter and highly recommend them.

Amazing experience. Yes it is pricey when you first look at it however you are on the boat the whole day (7am-6:30pm) considering the quality and range of food that is included and drinks it is well worth the price. We saw 10 sharks when we were out. Staff were very helpful. Great memories of here and would recommend for everyone to do it at least once
