4 Day / 3 Night Itinerary
This expedition is perfect for people who are looking for an intimate Great White Shark experience (and want to maximise their time at sea) and learn a lot about great white sharks.
Day 1
Meet at the Marina Hotel, Port Lincoln at 10:15am and welcome aboard at 10:30am. Leave Port Lincoln 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. Enjoy the crossing to the famous Neptune Islands Marine Park, where the dive kit will be tested for the shark diving. 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. More shark talks in the evening.
Day 3
More time with the great whites viewing topside, in the surface cage or down on the ocean floor and by now your shark identification skills will be finely tuned. 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. There is plenty time to chill out and rest. Hit the hay when you feel like it.
Day 4
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.
