Our beautiful 60 Seater Restaurant, overlooking the Indian Ocean, is open for breakfast from 06h00 to 11h00, lunch from 12h30 till 15h00 and supper from 18h30 till 22h00. Our friendly waiters are there to look after your every need. The Bar, with it's spectacular view, opens at 12h00 till 00h00 and will have something ice cold to suit your taste. Sit back & enjoy one of our custom designed cocktails while we do our activity planning for the next day. Watch the full moon rise over the Indian Ocean, while we discuss the day's diving.

More often than not we encounter dolphins and whale sharks on our way out to one of the dive spots. We allow more than enough time for you to snorkel with these social animals. On occasions we have been lucky enough to watch these animals mating, who, incidentally, are the only animals to have sex for fun!

From November to February, the Leatherback and Loggerhead turtle come to the beach at night to lay their eggs. Kwazulu Nature Conservation, in conjunction with several private tour operators run supervised tours and depending on the tide, you can be assured to see these amazing creatures battle over the sand to dig holes and lay their eggs with great effort. A female can lay up to 200 eggs at a time and lays up to 4 times in a season. The statistics are not very good for these creatures as only 2 out of a thousand eggs make it to maturity and lay eggs again.

From June to November, the Humpback whales migrate north to calf and pass Sodwana on their way to the warmer waters of the Mozambique Channel. These awesome creatures often display amazing acrobatics and some lucky divers have witnessed their antics.

For a very short period over December, the pregnant Raggedtooth shark invade one of our shallow reefs during gestation. While the pups grow inside them, these awesome animals are very placid and not very active, so the brave divers are able to experience these fearsome looking, but harmless fish at close quarters. During this period, the female does not feed and normally move further north to give birth.

Sodwana Bay is surrounded by numerous game reserves and it is well worth the effort to visit some of these privately and state owned reserves. We have some of the most diverse bird species and all you have to do, is sit on your doorstep and watch.
