June and July is great white shark season! Temperatures at the shark zone are usually in the 70 to 80 Fahrenheit range. It will still be chilly to and from so layer your clothes. All departures at 11:00 am. We travel North to a protected cove, where we will see sharks basking on the surface in these shallow waters. We could see other wildlife such as whales, sea otters, sea lions and dolphins but the main goal is the great white. On any given day during this short window 10–25 great whites are known to be in this area. Please join us to have an experience of a lifetime! The great whites are curious and are known to swim alongside our vessel on some trips!
Welcome aboard the Sanctuary for a great white shark tour on Monterey Bay!
