Shark Diving Tours and Shark Watching Holidays

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 06:41:43 +0000

Tiger sharks are universally accepted as one of the top three species of sharks in terms of danger and attacks on people. However they are often misunderstood and Royle Safaris aims to take you into the world of the tiger shark to showcase this species. It is a beautifully patterned, large, graceful shark which we regularly see from boats, canoes and catamarans whilst on our Shark Diving Tour, of Western Australia. This is because we visit Shark Bay, where for a few months of the year an estimated 10,000 tiger sharks (from 1m long to 5m giants) visit the bay following the dugongs (their preferred prey). But we also have great success in diving with tiger sharks off the Aliwal Shoals in eastern Southern Africa. By choosing either of these tours you will be sure of witnessing this beautiful shark and gaining an overall respect for the perfectly adapted apex predator. As you can see from the below video (which was taken in Shark Bay), we can get quite close to the tiger sharks in a completely safe way.

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 07:01:43 +0000

Whale Shark Snorkelling Ningaloo Reef

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 08:48:10 +0000

Have you ever wanted to swim alongside the largest fish in the ocean? Whale sharks are the ultimate gentle giants, a creature which, whilst closely related to some of the largest predatory sharks in the world, the whale shark is a harmless, gentle, inspiring fish. Despite this we know very little about the whale shark. Simple things such as where they spend most of their time, how and where they breed, where they give birth and how they socially interact are all mysteries to science. But it is these questions which are so important to have answered if we are to guarantee the continued survival of the whale shark for future generations. However we do know that there are large aggregations of whale sharks in four or five reef locations around the world. These meeting places coincide with the coral blooming along the reef and due to the synchronised way that reefs spawn their coral we can predict with great accuracy where the whale sharks will be at certain times of the year. It is at a couple of these locations where you can go to swim alongside some of the most beautiful animals in the world. The below video shows just how incredible swimming with whale sharks can be and was taken on our shark watching and shark diving tour of Western Australia where Swimming with Whale Sharks in Ningaloo Reef is a highlight of this specialist shark snorkelling and shark diving tour of Australia.

If you would like more information about any of our whale shark watching holidays or if you would like to enquire about a tailor made shark watching holiday then please do not hesitate to Contact Us at info@royle-safaris.co.uk or call on 0845 226 8259 and we will take you through the booking process step by step.
