Great White Shark Adventures — During the Fall months (September – November), thousands of marine mammals migrate to the Farallon Islands, which are approximately 27 miles from the San Francisco Bay, to breed and calve their young. This event attracts the largest great white sharks in the world. The Farallon Islands, located in the red triangle, are the known feeding ground for great whites before their long Pacific migration.
We have had many dramatic encounters from great white attacks from the safety of our vessel. These events are purely natural and part of everyday life at these islands, and truly unforgettable!
Our adventure from San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf to the Farallon Islands is a full-day excursion and includes continental breakfast, lunch, coffee and beverages. This trip also provides an atmosphere with an education on great white sharks and the Marine Sanctuary of the Farallon Islands.
Our shark encounters are viewed from the surface in full view for everyone. On some trips, we see 2 or more sharks; on others, we don’t see any sharks at all. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to experience a great white shark sighting and encounter other marine life.
The Farallon Islands are a safe haven to 37 types of endangered species, 400 types of birds, elephant seals, California sea lions, and stellar sea lions. It is also a popular migrating stop for many types of whales, including the blue, grey and humpback whale, with the possibility of porpoises and dolphins.
This is a great expedition for anyone who loves the outdoors. This rare adventure will provide you with an opportunity to observe such an occurrence with a great white shark attack as well as a memory of a lifetime!.
