Sardine Run 2016

Offshore Africa is the only operator that is able to offer a “home base knowledge” package for the Sardine Run as we are based in Port St John’s all year round and are ideally located to offer you a superb, fun filled trip, coupled with highly experienced sardine run specialist teams of skippers and dive guides.

We offer a boat based adventure for everyone, whether a diver or non diver.  All nature lovers, bird watchers, photography enthusiasts, dolphin and whale enthusiasts, snorkellers and scuba divers will thoroughly enjoy this incredible event of nature, which has been likened to the land based “Wildebeest migration of the Serengeti” and the marine equivalent of this has since been called “The Greatest shoal on earth”.

Please take a look at our sardine run trip info and join us for an experience of a lifetime in the most beautiful and scenic place of Port St John’s, Wild Coast, Transkei, the gateway to the sardine run.

WHY OFFSHORE AFRICA?
  • We are the only locally based operator based in Port St John’s year round
  • We are official permit holders of the Pondoland M.P.A. (marine protected area) dive operator permit, which allows our boats and divers access to scuba dive during the sardine run and on our reef systems
  • We limit our boat numbers to 8 clients, for comfort on board each day
  • We do a river launch and not a beach push-in launch each day, which allows our clients to get comfortable with safety & boat procedures prior to entering the surf zone
