JANUARY
Norway: Herring Run

Experience the Arctic herring run, where millions of bait fish attract orcas, humpback whales, and fin whales in a breathtaking spectacle under the shimmering aurora.

FEBRUARY / MARCH
Dominica: Sperm Whales

Swim with one of the ocean's most fascinating giants in the south Caribbean, where these incredible whales gather to feed and socialize in the warm, clear waters.

MAY
Mexico: Mobula Fever

In late spring, plankton blooms in the Sea of Cortez bring massive aggregations of mobula ray, mantas, whale sharks, bait fish, dolphin superpods, orcas and even blue whales.

JUNE / JULY
South Africa: Sardine Run

Nicknamed the greatest shoal on earth, this expedition offers a front row seat to marine megafauna like dolphins, sharks, and whales hunt bait balls of sardines in frenzied feeding.

SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER
Polynesia: Humpbacks

Polynesia is one of the few places to swim with humpback whales. From August to October, they arrive to mate and nurse their calves, offering incredible close-up encounters.

  • “That trip changed my life for the better. I saw the endless possibilities of what life could be like.”

    Nancy N.

  • “I didn’t know experiences like this were possible before meeting Pier. Not only has every trip been perfectly planned, the people we’ve traveled with have become family, and the adventures have reshaped our perception of the planet we’re a part of.“

    Jason M.

  • "Having done 10+ trips with Pier over multiple continents, let me say don’t ask questions, just say YES. I promise, you will not regret it!"

    Helena B.

  • “These trips make you explore the best part of nature, getting you up close with the animals. The team takes care of everything so you can just enjoy the fun! Plus their experience make you want to go again and again to a new adventure.”

    Benedetta A.

  • “Have done most of these adventures (some more than once already) and will more than likely do the rest. They are kinda like potato chips. You won’t be able to do just one, and you will probably make some lifelong friends (maybe even a few human ones).”

    Keith M.

  • "I went on their Sardine Run trip in South Africa in 2021, and even through the uncertainty of COVID surging that summer, the trip was unreal. They wouldn't let even a nationwide COVID shutdown keep us from having an incredible (and safe) trip on the water, I just felt so cared for. I had never been on any kind of ocean adventure before, and this trip made me an addict!"

    Claire W.

  • "The expeditions I have taken with Pier have shown that once in a lifetime experiences are not limited to unachievable rarity."

    Josephine W.

  • "The 2023 Sardine Run was a life-changing experience. All the staff involved were meticulous, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate about everyone’s experience. I never imagined a trip like this could be possible, especially as a new diver. I will definitely be back for others and would highly recommend entrusting Pier and Naude with your adventure!"
