This special 3 Night / 4 days held over Valentines Day is perfect for all Shark Lovers who are looking for an intimate Great
White Shark experience (and want to maximise their time at sea) and learn a lot about great white sharks. On this
Safari, we launch the world’s only Ocean Floor Cage (for qualified
SCUBA Divers). However, all guests are able to get up-close and personal
with Great Whites in our Surface Cage. It is an Expedition for people
who are very interested in sharks and their behaviour, experienced divers,
adventurers, shark photographers and anyone who, like us, has a passion
for these incredible creatures.

Day 1

We’ll meet you outside of the Marina Hotel, Port Lincoln at 1.30 pm and escort you to the MV Rodney Fox. Welcome aboard at 2.00 pm. Formal inductions and safety talk will begin, followed by being shown to your cabins to unload your belongings. Anchors away and we head off to Hopkins Island or the Neptune Islands. Please note that dinner is included onboard on this first night. 

Day 2        

It’s worth getting up at daybreak for the rest of the journey down to the Neptune Islands. The scenery is spectacular – we pass through the stunning Thorny Passage and stop by the Hopkins Islands for an hour so you can snorkel with Australian Sea Lions. Anchor at the Neptune Islands (our destination), where you’ll no doubt spot a few dorsal fins. Divers are briefed, and the cages hit the water, ready for action!

Relax, unwind, talk about the day while feasting on the buffet, check out the amazing night-sky, retire to your cabin.

Day 3

Diving resumes in the Surface Cage and the Ocean Floor Cage. We also like to hop in the tender boat, check out the New Zealand Fur Seals and go walking around the Neptune Islands. By now, you'll be getting to your sharks and the Rodney Fox Shark Presentation in the evening will share even more information about these wonderful animals.

Day 4 

More time to spend Surface and Ocean Floor diving – there is no time limit in the cages, as long as everyone has their fair share. You can also do some Shark and Wildlife watching from the observation deck, relax with a book – anything that floats your boat.

Leave the Neptune Islands by 1:00 pm and
enjoy some lovely local South Australian ‘wine on the bow’ and delightful
charcuterie board will be served with a selection of preserved fine
foods, cured meats, pates, dips as well as cheeses and crackers, fresh fruits and
nuts - usually with common dolphins joining us for company. 

We arrive back in Port Lincoln by 6.00PM for guests to disembark.
