What Is a Shark Tour?
A shark tour is a guided trip where we bring sharks right to the boat using bait to safely attract them without harm. You’ll watch as sharks swim around the boat, sometimes just feet away, in shallow clear waters. It’s a catch-and-release, conservation-minded experience that’s both exciting and educational.
