Encounter Whale Sharks in St Helena with Indigo Safaris

st helena

St. Helena, the world’s most remote island with a dive centre, sits smack in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, boasting stunning marine biodiversity, crystal-clear waters, and jaw-dropping landscapes.

From January to March, the waters surrounding St Helena host the only known seasonal aggregation of male and female whale sharks. March 2019 saw the first-ever documented whale shark courtship here—complete with visibly pregnant females!

Its waters are also home to majestic Chilean Devil Rays (spanning up to 3.5m!), four dolphin species, and 50 endemic marine species, including bajillions of St. Helena butterflyfish. Swimming among them feels like floating in a shimmering, underwater snow globe.

On land, this hilly island offers a rich history as a key Atlantic resupply stop connecting the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
