The Sardine Run is an epic natural phenomenon where billions of sardines migrate up the coast of South Africa. This creates a feeding frenzy, attracting thousands of dolphins, sharks, whales, seals, and birds in a breathtaking display of nature's power.
Features
A massive fish migration event rather than a single dive site. Divers spend days on a boat searching for 'bait ball' action, then jump in to witness dolphins, sharks, birds, and whales feeding on the sardines. Conditions are unpredictable and challenging.
