These are conducted at regular intervals during the course of the year.  Expeditions are particularly suited to people with a vested interest in the conservation and preservation of the GREAT WHITE SHARK as well as students studying marine biology or similar.

Extensive research procedures are conducted during the 10 day expedition and expedition members are encouraged to participate in tagging of sharks, recording of specific data for research purposes and viewing the GREAT WHITES from the safety of specially built cages which are partially submerged to facilitate optimum viewing.

When unsafe weather conditions preclude trips to DYER ISLAND, from where most of the research is carried out, expedition members are invited to participate in various activities such as trail hikes in the Kogelberg Biosphere Nature reserve starting from Betty's Bay, a visit to L`Algulhas (Southern most point in Africa), the large African Penguin colony at Betty's Bay (one of only 3 colonies on the African continent), whale watching in Hermanus (premier whale watching territory) & if all else fails, a wine-tasting tour of our renowned SOUTH AFRICAN WINELANDS.  

Lectures are informal yet informative.  Various lecturers, who are recognized in the fields of White Shark behaviour and sighting, are invited to address expedition members in order to enhance the the total WHITE SHARK experience and to provide expedition members with their own hard-earned knowledge of these magnificent animals.

Accommodation, transfers from and to Cape Town (on start and termination dates of expedition), meals, diving gear and lectures are included in the overall 10 day package.

10 day EXPEDITION
SEAL ISLAND & SURROUNDS (False Bay)

Great White Sharks are abundantly present during the months of April through to September in the False Bay area.False Bay White Shark expeditions are scheduled to start on the first day of each month throughout the year.  We attempt to concentrate our expeditions during the months of March to October as there is a significant increase in Great White Shark sightings and  activity during these months which are specifically suited to our White Shark expeditions.

During the expedition we collect environmental and shark data and we encourage expedition members to participate in the activities.Slides and talks will be conducted at various intervals during the expedition.

We arrange accommodation for our expedition members in close proximity to our base in Simonstown.  There are several places of interest in and around Simonstown including the legendary Brass Bell pub/restaurant in Kalk Bay.  Here the view over the bay is spectacular.  Visit the naval base in Simonstown and have a leisurely lunch at one of the many restaurants and pubs which overlook the picturesque bay.  Simonstown is also renowned for it's beautiful colonial architecture.The 10 day expedition includes the following:
