This trip should be called the Jelly Fish Adventures as that is the only thing we saw on the trip. It was an absolutely beautiful day (thank you nature) and we saw much wildlife on the way out to the islands.....however once in the cages you see nothing but mirky green water with no reference to anything alive..... except of... more

When we were ON the boat, we heard they hadn't seen sharks all season and after probing, we found out the chances of us actually seeing a great white were around 40% (and I think that was generous). The service was great and the people were great, but it's too much money to spend when they don't chum or do... more

Great White Adventures, Alameda CA. Leaving Emeryville CA. 10-09-07 From Scuba diver member,Mokena,IL First let me tell you that Great White Adventures will tell you that they have an 80 percent success rate at the Farallon Islands Site. This is NOT TRUE. Of the 13 divers and topside observers only one got a quick glimpse of the tail of a... more

I recently took a trip to the Farallons with Great White Adventures on Monday Oct 1, 2007. I as well as all the other members of the group were disappointed for the fact that we saw minimal/no shark activity (10 minutes after an attack with blood on surface). The website is misleading regarding the methods used to entice sharks to... more

Just returned from a day out at the Farallon Islands with Great White Adventures. My group did not see any Great Whites however we did see lots of wildlife as expected. I went into the trip with extremely low expectations after I had completed my own research. The pictures on the company's web site would lead one to believe that... more

We anticipated this trip for a year and were severely disappointed. The crew came to work in clothes they appeared to have slept in.They were dirty and unkept. The deck hands jeans were so rotten they were being held together with duct tape. The food appeared to have been left over from the previous trip. In fact at the end... more

I went out for two seperate days on this trip - the staff was very nice but the first day we saw one shark for approximately 10 seconds on the surface and the second day we saw no sharks - the water was extremely cold with terrible visiblity and the food was not good, either - in fact, my dietary... more

My husband and I have been to the Farallons with Great White Adventurtes twice now! We saw sharks both times and we really enjoyed the experience. It is an exciting day out on the water with a great crew and fun people. The food was fine and we all had a great day with Jim and Mike. They know their... more

The company has a great website that makes you believe great white sharks are everywhere. The tell you about great food and drinks being served all day. The company is not allowed to chum (fish blood and guts) to attract and keep the sharks near the boat. They instead use a surfboard that sometimes gets a shark near the boat... more
