The week after Easter and the Kreef Derby is always a particularly quiet period, similarly to the time after Christmas and New Years. The torrent of tourists, more often than not local, leave after the holiday period and Gansbaai returns to its usual sleepy self. The Roundhouse Guesthouse is dead quiet this weekend, and it was completely booked up last weekend, comparatively.
Easter is the last big event for the town and the Great White Shark cage diving industry before the start of the high season in June. The high season is when shark viewing is at is at its peak, and the Southern Right and Humpback whales grace our shores. If the weather plays along (June is the beginning of the South African winter, and is the Western Cape's rainy season), cage diving will be outstanding. We spoke to Great White Shark Tours earlier this afternoon, and their trips are cancelled for the next few days due to sea conditions. Lets hope that isn't an omen for winter.
