Witness billions of Sardines migrate up the eastern coast of South Africa in the world's largest migration of fish, mammals and birds! Enjoy sightings of hundreds of species of sea bird, super pods of dolphins, numerous species of whales and sharks, and other large predatory fish. 

We have several highly skilled and competent professional operators with 12-15 years sardine run experience, who will be leading, guiding you and the other participants to make this one of the most memorable diving experiences of your life.

Your safety, enjoyment and experiencing this phenomenon is their only concern

Your Accommodation is at two of the best lodges in Port St Johns, the N' Taba River Lodge and the The Jetty Lodge.

Enjoy five days at sea, with ample time spent free diving in the ocean among the marine frenzy with all-inclusive accommodation at a stunning eco-lodge in South Africa. Freediving the sardine run is a once in a lifetime adventure and definitely one for the bucket list!

The Sardine run is a top-ranking contender on the adventure bucket list. The migration reaches its climax off the coastline of Port St. Johns, where currents and the continental shelf pen the mega shoal within a short radius, creating a bait ball that attracts hundreds of thousands of predators in what is the largest feeding frenzy on earth. 

Common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Cape gannets, Brides whales, Humpback whales, dusky sharks, copper sharks, bull sharks, blacktip sharks, ragged-tooth sharks, Cape fur seals, even sailfish can be seen in this area at this time. On slow bait ball days, you will dive with dolphins, Humpback whales, and sharks. This makes it the ultimate ocean safari. The run is unpredictable, weather is unpredictable – but the payoff is very rewarding!
