Southern right whales sardine run 2017 were yet another highlight of what can be sighted during sardine run.

We never know what is going to be spotted each day, never mind each hour within each day on the boats during sardine run

Chance encounters just happen and when they do, they always cause a stir.

Offshore Africa land, sea & air adventures sardine run 2017 is in full swing here at our permanent base in Port St John’s, Wild Coast, South Africa.

The humpback whales have been giving us quite the show with their displays thus far.  Spy hopping, sailing, double & almost triple breaches, it has been truly great.

Lots of shark sightings, 4 species in 1 day, that being Bull shark, blacktip, dusky & bronze whaler have added to all the excitement.

Large pods of common dolphins & bottle nose dolphins have showed themselves.

A giant petrel feeding on a dead penguin was quite the unusual sighting.

Tzulu and the Blade Runner gyro copter have added an element of excitement and adventure.

The cold fronts have started coming in more regularly and today the water temperature is sitting between 19 degrees C and 20 degrees C, with quite the south westerly wind having pulled in from 4am this morning.

Thanks to our good friend Dave for all the drone footage, aerial footage of the surf launches, sightseeing spots and the spectacular Wild coast scenery have all added to an amazing start to the 2017 season.

The social scene has been truly great and our clients have had the opportunity to eat at many a different place in town, with lots of spectacular food for all taste buds.

We are only 10 days into the season but already we have happy smiling, tired faces with many a story being shared and showed on laptops at the end of the day.
