Day 1  Everyone meets at the Marina Hotel, Port Lincoln at 6.15 PM and officially welcome all aboard at 6.30 pm.  Formal inductions and safety talk will begin, followed by being shown to your cabins to unload your belongings. Dinner will be served as we then depart for the night’s anchorage at a location near our next days’ activities.

Day 2

Wake up at either Hopkins Island where we expect to have frolicking sea lions eager to meet us. For an hour or so in the morning, there is an option to snorkel/dive with these adorable creatures in shallow sheltered waters. Or, we wake up at the Neptune Islands and get ready to start spotting some dorsal fins. Divers are briefed, and the cages hit the water, ready for action! Crew priority is generally for everyone to see the sharks in the surface cage before we descend deeper with our SCUBA-certified diving guests in the ocean floor cage. At night you can download our pictures then relax, unwind, talk about the day while feasting on the buffet, engage in the Great White Shark Research Talk (really interesting, with some fantastic photography), check out the amazing night-sky, and can then retire to your cabin ready for the next day’s adventures.

Days 3, 4 and 5

More diving in the surface and ocean floor cage!

Enjoy a tender boat trip to check out the Long Nosed Fur Seals and go walking around the Neptune Islands. Here, there are many birds and a few reptile species to watch and the elusive Australian Sea Lions can also sometimes be spotted.

The liveaboard itinerary gives so many more opportunities to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Neptune Islands, listening to the sounds of the seals with a chilled glass of white. There is plenty of time to chill out and rest. Hit the hay when you feel like it… and get up when you feel like it.

Day 6 ( Last Day)

By now your shark identification skills will be finely tuned, more diving before we have to pack up!

Leave the Neptune Islands by 3:00 pm and enjoy some lovely local South Australian ‘wine on the bow’ usually with common dolphins joining us for company.

You will arrive back in Port Lincoln before 8.00 PM for guests to disembark. Dinner is provided onboard.
