About Neptune Islands Conservation Park
The Neptune Islands are a small group of granite islands in the outer Spencer Gulf and form the world's premier location for cage diving with great white sharks. The islands support the largest aggregation of great white sharks in Australian waters (typically autumn–winter) and are also home to large New Zealand fur seal colonies that attract the sharks. Access is strictly controlled and only permitted via licensed tour operators from Port Lincoln.
