Imagine you go for a boat ride while on vacation to watch cute seals swim and play in the water, only for a terrifying Great White shark to interrupt the good times? That’s exactly what happened to a group of German tourists in South Africa, reports Barcroft.

Even more chilling, the deadly shark literally attacked their small rubber boat, and easily tore through one of their flotation tubes with its powerful, sharp teeth. Thankfully, the tour guide had the sense to hit the gas and head to shore as quickly as possible before the situation escalated any further.
