Every winter, hundreds of large swirling shoals of sardines migrate from the cool Cape waters north east to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. One of the greatest migrations on earth, the Sardine Run attracts sharks, dolphins, seals, cormorants, Cape Gannets and sometimes even penguins, albatross and Orcas. Also occurring at this time is the annual migration of Humpback Whales. This natural event takes over the ocean, resulting in a breathtaking scene. This event can be viewed on the stage itself on board a boat, from above on a plane, or at the shore, where simply sticking a hand into the ocean could lead to the slippery sensation of fish scales brushing against human skin.
