on day 13 sardine run 2018 with a highly curious, interactive and playful humpback whale, which spent 2 hours with all those on board Offshore 1 vessel, playing, spy hopping, swimming in for closer looks. The most incredible and curious behaviour and a definite once in a lifetime experience for all in the water.

The annual sardine run is not just about sardines, it is about all of these special encounters that take place over the same time.  It is about all the marine life that is in the same place, same time.  It is simply the best marine/ocean seafari for all marine enthusiasts.

The post Once in a lifetime experience appeared first on Offshore Africa Port St. Johns.

The coastline of the Wild Coast and Port St John’s is one of dramatic scenery and a sight like none other along this magical and wild coastline.

As the mighty Umzimvubu River makes its way seawards, the views of Mt. Sullivan to the north, also known as the north gate and Mt. Thesiger to the south, also known as the south gate, are to be truly appreciated by boat and by air.

The airstrip on Mt. Thesiger is a major tourist attraction in Port St John’s as it affords one the opportunity of seeing this major river system alongside two mountains in its’ full glory. Many a sundowner drink has been had here as the sun dips down on the beauty of this area, viewed from above town.

The town of Port St John’s nestled alongside the river gives one a true sense of where you are in this picturesque part of the Wild Coast, Eastern Cape.

The town of Port St John’s is known as the gateway to the sardine run https://offshoreportstjohns.com/the-sardine-run-psj/ and Offshore Africa, being the only operator with a permanent base here, calls Port St John’s the home of the sardine run for many reasons.

Contact us https://offshoreportstjohns.com/contact/ to see this amazing town and its dramatic scenery for yourself.

Air boat launch…………………..

Offshore Africa is super proud to launch “The Beast” V8 air boat, which is only the 2nd air boat in South Africa to offer river tours.

The air boat compliments Offshore Africa’s already comprehensive fleet existing of Offshore 1 dive boat and Bobalong 30 seater river cruise barge.

The air boat is fast and maneuverable and can get into and through shallow water, to places never before navigated.

The speed of the air boat makes for an exciting river trip like none other.

It is an adrenalin rush coupled with a new way to see the river and it sure will bring a change of hairstyle too!!

Further information to follow soon…………………………..so watch this space.

When being out on the ocean is not a possibility on the day but the weather is clear, a trip to Luphuthana is a must do.

Just getting there is an adventure in itself.

Approximately 1.5 hours drive from Port St John’s and the drive is absolutely worth it and more.

Spectacular scenery as one bypasses Magwa Tea Plantation and as one heads down towards the sea, the magic starts………..

Getting there by 4 x 4 is preferrable as one never knows what the rain may have done to the road, which is gravel.

Luphuthana in all it’s glory………………..one can start the Water Fall Bluff hike from here at Drifters Camp or simply hang out here and enjoy the waves smashing up against the rocks.  Little rock pools are all over the place and there are shady spots to relax and picnic underneath.

The Waterfall Bluff hike is not a difficult hike to do from here and from a time frame perspective, easy to do and then head back for lunch or a late afternoon snack.

One needs to find out from the locals which path to take to head to Waterfall Bluff as there are a few.

The scenery northwards towards Grosvenor is also spectacular.

For those that love hiking, scenery, nature, or just chilling, Luphuthana is the place to be.

It is like you are in another world…….truly beautiful, quiet and paradise to visit.
