FACE-TO-FACE WITH SOME OF EARTH'S MOST MAJESTIC GIANTS
Shark Safari

The thrill of shark safaris varies greatly between great white sharks and whale sharks. Whale shark safaris take place in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, while great white shark safaris occur in the cooler Atlantic waters, often 13–14°C. While great whites are apex predators, whale sharks are gentle giants. Despite their differences, we’ve combined these two unique experiences under one title—because both offer exhilarating, unforgettable adventures you simply must try!
