Shark Tours

Our 1-day Shark Cage Diving Charters are an AUSTRALIAN FIRST & only available in Port Lincoln. They are ideal for people with limited time or budget and best of all NO diver qualification required!

6.30am

We board the boat at 6.30am at the Marina Hotel, throw the rope off at 7am, and return by approximately 7pm.

Enjoy the 2.5 hour journey to the Neptune Islands aboard our brand new purpose built vessel, the magnificent 65' 'MV Calypso Star 2', often accompanied by pods of dolphins & even the odd whale in season.

9.30 am - Arrive @ Dive Location - See Map*

The bait hits the water, then the action begins!! We have often had Great Whites around the boat before hanging back on the anchor. Fingers crossed "Big Mumma" may arrive, an 18' plus monster.

Calypso Star Charters is fully licensed by the South Australian Department of Environment. We also are permitted by the Fisheries Department to use berley (chum) to attract the Great White Sharks to our boat at the Neptune Island Marine Park.

Being permitted to berley (chum) provides us with the best possible chance at a shark sighting; after all, Great White Sharks are the ultimate marine predator. With skilful use of the baits we are able to lure the sharks close to the dive cage to give you the most intense cage dive available. The use of bait also provides spectacular viewing from the boat. You don't have to be in the water to experience the thrill of a Great White Shark!

Hit the Water!

Once the sharks arrive, and depending on the action, each person will have the opportunity to experience approximately 45 minutes of cage viewing face to face with the amazing Great White Shark. View these marvellous creatures through the crystal clear water that surrounds the Neptune Islands. Groups enter our new spacious cage 6 at a time leaving plenty of room for prime shark viewing!

Camera Time!

The action from the very spacious upper and lower decks is fantastic, get your camera for prime photographic opportunities -Click-Click-Click. Magnificent lunch, cappuccino and icy cold soft drinks included. The bar opens on the way home or BYO is also welcome, cans preferable.

No shark policy

While every effort is made to attract the sharks to our boat, in nature there can be no guarantees! In the rare event of not seeing Great White Sharks a half price return ticket is offered to all on board. This ticket is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of issue. Read more
