Waterfront Charters recommend their Ocean Safaris as the best way to get to see this amazing sea creature. They have an otherworldly look about them, and watching their fins as they wave through the water (the tell-tale difference between a sunfish fin and a shark fin: the shark’s fins cut straight through the water) and then seeing the huge round bulk underneath – incredible.
