San Francisco Shark Tours

April 30, 2007 at 10:52 AM | by | Comments (3)


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.

Picture

This picture is from the South Austrailian coast near Port Lincoln. Arnold Pointer is a fisherman there. He rescued this female shark from death in one of his nets and she has been following him for over 2 years now. She lets him scratch her belly and pet her.Arnold named her Cindy and she has made it so he can't catch fish. A love story!
