We have collated all the premium events taking place during the festive season so that you can be sure not to miss out. Pass this on to any friends and family that might be visiting so that they too can get excited and prepare for the celebrations. Good luck to the organisers and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Ons bied vir u, vir die eerste keer in Desember, n fees en program aan wat nog nie sy gelyke in Gansbaai gehad het nie.

Met meesterlike pasmaats van musiek, kos en iets om te drink by n fees waar elke paring by sy eie bedieningspunt aangebied word. Ware vermaak, kos, musiek, kuierfees, opwinding en aktiwiteite. Kom en beleef n unieke ervaring by FEES VAN DIE HAAIE.

Lingering whales can be spotted alongside and the sea breeze makes for great running conditions.
