Sardine Run 7-Days
on the Wild Side
Dates: 26 June - 2 July 2026
Journey to South Africa's rugged Wild Coast, a place where the ocean is truly untamed and a marine spectacle of epic proportions unfolds. This is the stage for the Sardine Run, the world’s greatest biomass migration, which attracts an incredible gathering of life. Join us to witness the chaotic beauty of dolphins, sharks, whales, and thousands of seabirds in a feeding frenzy. It's an unforgettable pilgrimage to the heart of the "Blue Serengeti."
Bait Ball Immersion
A rare, heart-pounding experience where you drop into a swirling, silver wall of sardines being corralled by dolphins, sharks, and gannets.
Megafauna Migration
The Run coincides with the annual Humpback Whale migration. You'll spend the days amongst giants, with a big possibility to swim with them.
The "Predator" Collective
Watch thousands of Common Dolphins, Bronze Whaler Sharks, and Bryde's Whales work together, revealing the complex intelligence of the marine food web.
The Seabird "Tornado"
Above the surface, you witness a staggering sight: thousands of Cape Gannets dive-bombing the water from high altitudes.

I'm incredibly proud to announce I've teamed up with my friends at Wander Out Expeditions to lead an exclusive week on the Wild Coast! This is the ultimate bucket list marine event: the Sardine Run. As a South African native who has spent four years tracking this phenomenon, I’m bringing my deep local knowledge directly to you. My passion is the Wild Coast and its incredible shark life, and I'm leading this expedition to get you into the heart of the action with the whales, dolphins, and sharks.
