Can sharks be viewed throughout the year?
Great white shark viewing is better at certain times of the year. When dealing with wild animals
every day is different and even in low season it is possible to have amazing shark sightings. Boat trips are dependent on weather conditions and it is advisable to have more than one day set aside for shark viewing. We recommend serious shark enthusiasts and photographers/videographers book for a few boat trips.
Best sightings are May to September.
The chances of seeing sharks are 90% or more. During winter stormy weather is a fact of nlife, and this can prevent us from going out to sea.
December to March is considered the “low” season. Sightings can vary daily from very good to below average. With wildlife there are no guarantees. Although we cannot guarantee
wildlife we had excellent sightings every day up to now!
