What to expect from the Sardine Run at Coffee Bay in 2016?

After Breakfast at 7 am you get transferred by Landrover and Landcruiser 4 x 4 to Mapusi, the most amazing, idyllic river mouth from where we launch our boat. This drive alone is worth a few photo-stops. The cliffs are high and drop off almost vertical into the deep blue ocean.

On the banks of this river, you get ready for the launch. The 4 x 4 drives the boat down into the river. Together with the crew you to push the boat further until there is enough water under the keel and all rocks are cleared.

Once it is safe, the skipper gets on the boat and starts the motors. When he has enough water under the keel, he calls all guests on. With speed, the boat drives over the sandbank and into the waiting basin. Once all waves have passed, the skipper chooses the safest moment to launch out to sea. Mapusi offers one of the very few safe launches along the Wild Coast.

The Sardine Run Package includes:

• 5 nights at the Ocean View Hotel on half board basis
• 4 days on the boat (sandwiches, fruit, and cookies on the boat)
• Air support by microlight plane several times a day
