CAPE PENINSULA & SARDINE RUN EXPEDITION 2026
2026-05-09 08:00 - 2026-05-23 17:00 (Europe/London) | South Africa, Simonstown, Western Cape, South Africa
﻿
Consisting of two sections;
10 May – 17 May 2026 (part 1 – Cape Peninsula)
17 May – 24 May 2026 (part 2 – Sardine Run)
The Agulhas Current drives down the East coast of Southern Africa, bringing warm water from the tropics, while on the West coast, cold, nutrient-rich upwelled water drifts northward. The oceans around Southern Africa hosts over 12 000 species of marine plants and animals making it one of the most diverse coastlines in the world bursting with colour and life.
This small group expedition in South Africa consisting of two parts is the first of its kind and is done in partnership with one of the most respected dive centers in South Africa.
Cape Peninsula;
Over a period of one week, 6 clients per boat will set out on daily expeditions in search of an abundance of life around the Cape Peninsula with the chance to snorkel, freedive or scuba dive both oceans (Atlantic and Indian oceans). For a small taste of what this might include:
• Diverse kelp forests, including the area where ‘My Octopus Teacher’ was filmed
• Several species of small and large sharks and rays
• Makos and Blue Sharks south of Cape Point (the tip of Africa) – each week will have one day planned for this
• Sealions
• African Penguins
• An incredibly diverse variety of seabirds
• Chance to see cetaceans (dusky dolphins, humpbacks, right whales, orcas etc)
• Mola Mola (Sunfish)
and more…
Accommodation will be at a beautiful 4 star hotel in a marina, right on the water and each morning you will be collected by boat to set out on the day’s adventure.
Sardine Run;
Guests will have a one week for the Sardine Run near East London. This will be with the assistance of the same dive partners as well as local experts with decades of experience in the area (a must have for the Sardine Run). Here you will stay in a stunning seaside lodge and during the Sardine Run (5 days of diving) you are pretty much guaranteed to see at the very least:
• Humpback whales
• Bryde’s whales
• Thousands of Common Dolphins
• Inshore Bottlenose Dolphins
• Sea Lions
• Thousands of seabird species
With a very high likelihood of:
• Bronze Whaler sharks
• Dusky sharks
• Ragged tooth sharks
• Hammerhead sharks
• Several other shark species
• Several species of Cetaceans (both whales and dolphins) and more
