Groups are small (six people max), we travel quietly, and the focus is on the wildlife. There is plenty of free time for us to explore.

Great White Sharks – Topside in Monterey Bay tour

This tour is focused on seeing great white sharks on the surface at Shark Park Santa Cruz

Great White Sharks Año Nuevo Island tour

We have a NOAA / National Marine Sanctuary Permit to use a decoy to attract great white sharks at Año Nuevo island and South East Farallon Island, in the past this has been very successfull. We expect to find adult great white sharks ranging from 12 to 19 feet in length, but we may encounter larger sharks too.
