View Original Description
Get “up close and personal” with Great White Sharks off the Farallon Islands. Located in the Pacific Ocean approximately 30 miles west of San Francisco, California, the Farallon Islands are one of the world’s best locations for viewing, photography and video ofGreat White Sharks. Being right off San Francisco,the Ultimate Shark Diving Experience... is closer than you think!
In the fall, thousands of marine mammals congregate on this rocky promontory to breed and calve their young. This event attracts the largest White Sharks in the world where they feed on Elephant Seals before their long trans-Pacific migration.
Because the waters around the Farallons are protected under law, no chumming is permitted. You will just observe natural feeding events only.
The peak season is September through November.
A typical trip to the islands is 8-12 hours depending on the tour operator.
These predatory acts are bloody and violent. Though you may be observing this from the safety of the vessel, you may need to consider this aspect of your adventure and decide if this is an encounter you wish to experience.
