Swim with Humpback Whales in 2020
Silver Bank, Dominican Republic

A journey to the Silver Bank is an adventure that will
awaken your consciousness and inspire your soul.

A voyage with Conscious Breath Adventures takes you to experience one of the premier
congregations of humpback whales found anywhere,
in the Sanctuary for the Marine Mammals of the Dominican Republic.

With thousands of whales gathering here every winter to mate and calve,
you will see a dazzling display of behaviors from the deck of our tenders and
eye to eye as you slip quietly into the sea to interact with these graceful giants in their ocean home.

Swimming with humpback whales in their natural environment, on their terms,
during a Soft-In-Water Encounter, is an ultimate wild animal interaction
and spending a week in this exceptional sanctuary is a journey unlike any other.

The whales will make you laugh and they may make you cry, but they will always touch your spirit. A journey to the Silver Bank is an adventure that will awaken your consciousness and inspire your soul.

The Sardine Run
June 11, 2019- July 27, 2019

2019 PACKAGE COSTS
6 Nights / 5 Days Sardine Run Diving Package
PORT ST JOHN RIVER LODGE 3*
Double bed rooms and twin bed rooms available
USD 2266.00 twin share
USD 2420.00 single
*** Rate subject to change, based on current rate of exchange.

We highly recommend at least a 6 nights / 5 days Ocean Safari
to offer the best possible chance to see quality action with the predators!
Remember nature does what nature does!

PACKAGE INCLUDES:
All meals are included. Dinner bed and breakfast at the lodge. Lunch on the boat.

Please note, this is an Ocean Safari, not a dive trip per say.
Most of the action happens quickly, you must be ready to jump in on snorkel asap before the bait ball’s dissipate! Scuba happens when the Bait Balls are in tact, large and there is time to get back on the boat and don tanks!

WE are the only operator that is able to offer a “home base knowledge” package for the Sardine Run as we are based in Port St John’s all year round and are ideally located to offer you a superb, fun filled trip, coupled with highly experienced sardine run specialist teams of skippers and dive guides.

We offer a boat based adventure for everyone, whether a diver or non diver.
All nature lovers, bird watchers, photography enthusiasts, dolphin and whale enthusiasts, snorkellers and scuba divers will thoroughly enjoy this incredible event of nature, which has been likened to the land based “Wildebeest migration of the Serengeti” and the marine equivalent of this has since been called
“The Greatest shoal on earth”.

Please take a look at our sardine run trip info and join us for an experience of a lifetime
in the most beautiful and scenic place of Port St John’s, Wild Coast, Transkei, the gateway to the sardine run.

**We can add on Great White Shark viewing in PEAK Breaching season and a big game safari
