Sardine Run, Port StJohns - Jewel of the Wild Coast

The Sardine Run in Port StJohns is a magical experience. Port StJohns is a picturesque coastal town in South Africa and is known as the "Jewel of the Wild Coast". The wild coast is a stretch of 250 kilometers that got its name from its inaccessibility and reputation for being demanding for boats and with big waves. Today, the Wild Coast remains relatively untouched and offers adventure and unique beauty for the Sardine Run experience.

Sardine Run Experience
The Sardine Run is more about the migration of various predators that move along the South African coast in search of the sardines, rather than the sardines themselves. It involves encounters with humpback whales, thousands of dolphins and sightings of seals attacking from above and shooting through the water. It's also about the crew and other divers who share this experience with you – you spend hours at sea together enjoying this rare and life-changing adventure.

Always be ready
It's easier to get on and off the boat quickly with snorkel gear because the skipper has to keep moving the boat to stay where the action is. One can come across Sardine Run action completely unexpectedly. The crew will do their best to maneuver the boat and anticipate the marine animal activity so it is important to be ready to jump in the water at a moment's notice. If luck is on your side, you will experience the trek at its peak. It is also beneficial to have some freediving experience.
