Above and Below sardine run,

coming to you in 5 months, thanks to Mother Nature and the migration of sardines.

This video by far encapsulates the high’s and low’s and all the in-betweens of our annual sardine run.
We loved being involved in the making of this video, meeting and working with the highly talented and dynamic team from Behind the Mask. We look so forward to this 2025 expedition season.
If this is on your list of things to do, be sure to contact us to check on availability for our 2025 season https://offshoreportstjohns.com/sardine-run/
Bookings have also opened for our 2026 expedition season so stay in touch!!
This is a repeat video but oh so relevant, keeping you asking for more of it!!! It is by far one of the best videos produced of this incredible migration.
Have you entered the “Alive” competition from Behind the Mask yet?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVsZ1ceWGzI&t=82s
Closing date is 25th January. Stand a chance to win one of 3 signature trips. We look forward to meeting the winner of the sardine run expedition.

Sardine run with Offshore Africa

What we love about our annual sardine run is the many incredible video clips & reels that are constantly shared with us by our superbly talented clients. These constantly remind us of this amazing event of Nature known as the Sardine Run.
Here is a recent brilliant clip done by @pj_kotze_cine . Check out his website  https://www.pjkotze.com/photography  for more of his adventures.
The Sardine Run grips every person that has ever taken part in this ocean adventure. Months, if not years after people have joined this trip, incredible videos & images continue to be shared and flood social media.
It is a lifetime experience, an eye-opening experience and an experience never to be forgotten.
It is NOT just for divers. It is for snorkelers, it is also for people that have a passion for the ocean but prefer to remain topside. It is a photographers dream trip. It is an all-in-one trip for so many different kinds of people.
We have a saying that has been quoted world over……. for those of us that work with the sardine run, we’ve got to keep coming back , we’ve got to keep doing it because we are too scared that we may miss out on something that may never ever be experienced again in our lifetime.
It is the annual sardine run in South Africa. A true ocean adventure. A bucket list trip.
Our website https://offshoreportstjohns.com/sardine-run/   explains exactly how things work. What you need to do to prepare yourself for the trip. We explain misconceptions and we explain the bait ball hype.
We look forward to seeing you one day if you have not already joined us.
