And on the mid-South Coast \u2013 with its warm water ocean, epic natural splendour and many outdoor excursions \u2013 there\u2019s something to treat every dad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re celebrating your father or a father figure in your life, it\u2019s time to ditch the meaningless consumer goods and give him something that he\u2019ll cherish for years to come \u2013 a special bonding experience together,\u201d said Annien Koulountis, Resorts Manager at Rocky Bay Resorts. \u201cRocky Bay, which is an incredible seaside town on the mid-South Coast, caters to those looking for a family-friendly adventure that offers something a little bit different. We\u2019ve put together our list of the eight best ways to spoil dad this Father\u2019s Day with minimal effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1. Diving or snorkelling<br \/>Swimming among sharks, rays and all manner of big game fish is undoubtedly one of the best adventures to share with dad this Father\u2019s Day \u2013 but why not enjoy the experience in one of the world\u2019s top dive sites? Aliwal Shoal was rated one of the top 10 dive sites by the legendary Jacques Cousteau himself, and it\u2019s made accessible through a number of charters, including Mokarran Dive Charters. Located within Rocky Bay Resorts, this full-service charter takes guests out on a fantastic diving excursion, or \u2013 for the less adventurous \u2013 boat rides are on offer as well. With the annual Sardine Run in the winter months, this time of year is that much more exciting for divers and seafarers. Those who prefer to remain closer to shore can discover marine life snorkelling in the rock pools at Granny\u2019s Pool during low tide.<\/p>\n<p>2. Shark diving<br \/>Take it up a notch by getting immersed in the world of blacktips, duskies, Zambezi, spinner and tiger sharks at Aliwal Shoal all from the safety of the shark cage. Shark Cage Diving KZN, which is located at Rocky Bay Resorts, takes guests out in a four-man, stainless-steel shark cage which is SAMSA approved and designed by an engineer for diver and animal safety. Guests get a close-up experience from the diving cage which is secured to the boat at all times. This is another great opportunity to enjoy the Sardine Run from the sea, with no dive experience needed!<\/p>\n<p>3. Deep sea fishing<br \/>There\u2019s no better father-child bonding experience than a day spent out at sea, casting a line and hoping for a catch! Albacore Fishing Charters, situated at Rocky Bay Resorts, boasts decades of experience in both fishing and boat charter, with seven charter boats available. Fishing this spot on the mid-South Coast during the Sardine Run (also known as The Greatest Shoal on Earth) is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>4. Mountain biking and running trails<br \/>When it comes to mountain biking and running trails, there\u2019s no place better than the mid-South Coast! Even for families who are new to the sport, it\u2019s a really great way to bond and experience the incredible natural scenery of this region. One great option is Rocky Bay Resorts Mountain Bike Trails which consist of not-too-challenging 12km and 19km trails alongside the more challenging 29 and 39km trails. These trails actually form part of the epic Sani2C and Joburg2C biking competitions. The on-site Saddle Shack hires out bikes to guests. There are also the 4km, 6km, 8km and 10km running trails for those who prefer the adventure on foot.<\/p>\n<p>5. Bird watching<br \/>For dads who prefer to take more leisurely strolls, binoculars in hand, while on the hunt for those elusive, feathered friends, the mid-South Coast is a birders\u2019 haven! Rocky Bay, with its coastal forests and many nature trails, sets the perfect backdrop for bird watching, with more than 250 species identified in these parts. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, with a checklist of birds available at the Rocky Bay Resorts reception.<\/p>\n<p>6. Braai time<br \/>Nothing quite says a Father\u2019s Day in South Africa like a seaside braai \u2013 and Rocky Bay Resorts is just the spot! Those staying at Rocky Bay Resorts Caravan Park and log cabins have access to a braai stand adjacent to the enticing Indian Ocean, making this the ideal weekend-getaway for Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>7. Great dining with a view<br \/>Treat dad to a really fantastic meal and an ocean view at the pub and grill restaurant, Dock 360, which can be found at Rocky Bay Resorts. In celebration of Father\u2019s Day, Dock 360 has arranged a delicious special of 300g ribs and chips for R70 with a free SAB dumpy! There will also be live music performed by Shaune McCraig from 12pm to 4pm to create a great vibe! Contact 065 635 448 for more information.<\/p>\n<p>8. Accommodation specials<br \/>The Father\u2019s Day celebrations continue as Rocky Bay Resorts is running its Winter Warmer Specials to make the money go even further. For the months of June and July, there\u2019s a 20% discount on all log cabin accommodation and, for the Father\u2019s Day weekend, there is a less 25% on all the log cabins \u2013 increasing to 50% for the night of the 19 June There\u2019s also a special running at the Caravan Park \u2013 book for 10 nights and only pay for seven, or book for 14 nights and only pay for 10.<\/p>\n<p>Make this Father\u2019s Day one to remember with Rocky Bay Resorts.
