San Francisco Shark Tours

April 30, 2007 at 10:52 AM | 1 Comment

Great White Adventures runs 1-day shark-spotting expeditions from the San Francisco Bay Area (Emeryville) to Southeast Farallon Island, 26 miles off the coast of San Francisco. Packages come in two flavors: "Cage Diver" and "Topside Observer." The first, as you might guess, includes a cage dive into the murky waters of the Pacific, so that you might get up close and personal with the beasts. At $775 per person, it's quite an investment.

As a "Topside Observer," ($375) you'll stay dry but still get to ooh and ahh at delightful natural phenomena like bloody attacks on seals. Trips run only for a limited time between September and November, but planning now isn't a bad idea, as some days are already sold out. Don't count on 'em letting you massage a shark as demonstrated above. We're not sure where the picture's from, but we do know it's awesome.
