About your trip
The Sardine Run is the legendary South African sardine migration that occurs once a year, between June and July, along the wild coast. Famous to all divers and nature passionate and second to none in terms of biomass. The migration of billions of sardines is creating a feeding frenzy for whales, sharks, dolphins and hundreds of other predators. This trip is a one-in-a-lifetime experience!
Together with the Sardine Run, you’ll be diving with all sort of sharks, from blacktip to bull sharks to the tiger and the great white. You’ll experience what it means to swim with whales and what it looks like when birds dive into the water.
