Sardine Run – the Greatest Shoal on Earth
We approach the sardine run again! This year may provide a bumper spectacle, something one should experience!
The sardine run (also called Sardine Migration) is an annual phenomenon occurring from June to the end of July along the east coast of South Africa; the Wild Coast and KwaZulu Natal coast as far as Durban and beyond. They call this phenomenon the biggest shoal on earth! It is often compared with the famous great migration occurring in East Africa! To bring you close to this sight we operate a tour both ways from Durban and Cape Town where one can visit the beaches. Sharks, dolphins, whales and man alike chase these little fish onto the beach! Dark spots in the sea close to the beaches – sometimes up to 15 kilometres long and around 
3,5 kilometres wide – give away their presence!
A popular way to get close to these little fish is a boat trip to the shoal. Then jump overboard with a mask and snorkel and awe at the activity below you!
Scuba divers have endless options to experience the sardine migration! Take a boat ride to one of the shoals, then dive into the sea! Watch the sharks, dolphins, and even whales amongst other predatory fish as well as birds dive in to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Time to experience the biggest shoal on Earth!
