Shark Cage Dive Season - 30th May 2026
Thats a Wrap!
Well almost.. our crew are still at sea on their last tour for the 2025/2026 Shark Cage Diving Season. Jorja, todays Tour Lead , has messaged advising "SHARK!!!" It could be a great day, it could be a blah day, but any day at sea - seeing a Great White Shark is an amazing glimpse into our mighty moana (ocean).
That first dorsal pass, that first 1 sec eye to eye contact.. that moment, will stay with some people for a lifetime.
To all the Shark Lovers we have met this year - Kia ora rawa atu. We appreciate the time and investiment you have made in visiting Murihiku (Southland NZ) and for trusting us with your special day at sea.
To our suppliers, our special supporters, our fellow tourism providers in Bluff Motupōhue, Ngā mihi maioha, your help is appreciated.
To our crew - our hardy, energy filled, safety minded, shark addicted, crazy ocean loving crew; you are sensational! Aroha nui ki a koutou kato <3 Today is not the last day, its just your first day of a winters rest.
See you all for NEXT SEASON opens on 15th November 2026!
