Shark watching tours:
Witnessing a very large great white shark consume an 800 lb. sea lion or juvenile elephant seal can be a very dramatic experience.

These particularly violent acts are as natural as the rising of the tide for the shark.

Such acts of nature may be more than some can bear, but this is the only way for us surface dwellers to lay eyes on these Apex Predators.

During the Fall months (Sept – Nov), 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 the great white sharks before their long Pacific Migration. We have had many dramatic encounters from great white attacks from the safety of the vessel. These events are purely natural and part of everyday life at these islands. This is an event that is truly unforgettable.

ALL-DAY EXCURSIONS: Group Rates are available.

Our adventure from San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf to the Farallon Islands is a full day excursion. You are welcome to bring any of your favorite foods and beverages to last the day. Private charters are welcome to bring a keg of beer!

This trip also provides an atmosphere with instructions and information of the great white sharks and the marine sanctuary of the Farallon Islands.

Our shark encounters are viewed from the surface. On some trips we may see 2 or more sharks; on others, we may not see any. However, we may also observe migrating whales (grey whaless and hump backs, and maybe even blues), orcas (killer whales), porpoises and dolphins, sea birds and occasional feeding frenzies of fish boiling on the surface.

The Farallon Islands are a safe haven to 37 different endangered species and over 400 species of sea birds.

This is a fantastic expedition for anyone who loves the outdoors! This rare adventure will provide you with an opportunity to observe and photograph a great white shark attack for a memory of a lifetime!
