The Sardine Run

Wild Coast, South Africa · 26 Jun to 3 Jul 2027 · from US$4,750

Dolphins, sharks, whales and birds hunting bait balls of sardines, and you in the water with them.

This one is led by our friends at Immersiv Expeditions, Pier Nirandara and Matt Reichel, and we love everything about it. You stay at a community-run lodge on the Wild Coast and eat together every evening. Most of the action is on snorkel, so you need to be fit for open-ocean swimming and long hours on boats.

Use code GAIA for US$200 off, until 30 November.
