3 Day / 2 Night Itinerary
The 3 Day and 2 Night Great White Adventure runs from March to May (Autumn) and through the Australian Spring and Summer. This expedition is ideal for people are little pushed for time but still want a full experience immersed in the world of the Great White Shark.
Day 1
Meet at the Marina Hotel, Port Lincoln at 08:45am and welcome aboard at 09:00am. Leave Port Lincoln by 09:15am and journey down to the Neptune Islands. The scenery is spectacular – pass through the stunning Thorny Passage and stop by the Hopkins Islands to snorkel or dive with Australian Sea Lions. Anchor at the Neptune Islands, where you’ll no doubt spot a few dorsal fins. The Surface Cage hits the water first, then the SCUBA divers descend in the ocean floor cage. After the exhilaration of the sharks, there is time to relax, unwind, and engage in the Great White Shark Research Talk. Check out the amazing night-sky before you retire to your cabin.
Day 2
Diving resumes in the Surface Cage and with the Ocean Floor Cage for SCUBA divers. You may also hop in the tender boat, check out the New Zealand Fur Seals and go walking around the Neptune Islands. Here, there are many bird species to watch and the elusive Australian Sea Lions can also sometimes be spotted. The evening brings more opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Neptune Islands, listening to the sounds of the seals with a chilled glass of white.
Day 3
More time to spend Surface and Ocean Floor diving – there is no time limit in the cages, as
long as everyone has their fair share. You can also do some Shark and Wildlife watching from the observation deck, relax with a book, work on your tan – anything that floats your boat. Leave the Neptune Islands by 3:00pm and enjoy some local South Australian ‘drinks on the bow’ usually with
common dolphins joining us for company. You will get back in Port Lincoln by 8:00pm to disembark.
