Whale shark interaction
St Helena is home to the only known seasonal aggregation of adult male and female whale sharks, from January to March. They tend to frequent certain dive sites that are sea mounts or ledges. Current regulations prohibit deliberate SCUBA diving with whale sharks, but permits deliberate snorkelling and chance encounters on SCUBA.
On this trip, we have two planned whale shark snorkels, and if they appear on a dive site whilst we are diving, we are free to stay and enjoy. If the whale sharks happen to be on the dive site when we arrive, we will snorkel with them, and dive after. There are some cool cavern dives, filled with fish, Chilean devil rays, and a handful of historic wrecks.
Budget week:
11 to 20 January 2019
Two sharing a double room was £810 now £700 GBP ($900 USD)
Single occupancy was £935 now £820 (approx. $1050)
Deluxe week:
18 to 27 January 2019
Two sharing a double or twin room was £1595 now £1395 GBP ($1795 USD)
Single occupancy was £2095 now £1880 (approx $2400)
Included
Each trip includes 1 night in Johannesburg, 7 nights on St Helena, the final night in Johannesburg, 10 dives over 5 days, 2 whale shark snorkelling trips, a full day 4x4 land tour, 6 days vehicle hire, and transfers. The deluxe version includes 7 breakfasts on St Helena and 4 dinners.
Non-divers can swap diving for snorkelling, or just enjoy one of the several dozen walks on the island for a reduced price.
