What to expect
This fun and educational experience is for the whole family, no experience needed. We generally target three species of shark on these excursions namely Great white sharks, Bronze whaler sharks and the prehistoric Sevengill shark. These sharks are awesome! Nothing compares to seeing a shark in real life for the first time and all preconceived ideas are crushed with the first viewing. You don’t even have to climb in the cage to get a good view as many of the sharks swim at the surface and some even pop their heads out to have a look at you. We lower a cage in the water and you can have the opportunity of viewing these spectacular predators in their natural environment. You also stand a chance of seeing other marine life like seals, dolphins and whales while out in the bay.
