What to expect
This tour is focused on seeing great white sharks on the surface, but we may see other wildlife such as dolphins, porpoises, whales, and more. We have an excellent chance to see great white sharks right at the surface!
In the past, we have seen as many as eight in one day. Great white sharks can be found there during any given day, so we expect to find at least a few during our tour. We expect to find juvenile great white sharks ranging from 6 to 9 feet in length, but we may encounter larger sharks too.
The best season is May – Sept., when the water is the warmest in the shallow part of the bay. Join us for an intimate encounter into the summer home of the great white shark!
Groups are small (1 to 6 people), we travel quietly, and the focus is on the wildlife with plenty of free time for us to explore. We draw on our experience and expertise to teach, educate and provide amazing experiences. A licensed and experienced Captain and naturalist.
