A stunning Humpback dolphin sighting! Marine Big 5 daily blog

Launching from Gansbaai due to the low tide we had the chance to enjoy the stunning scenery as we made our way around Danger Point and into the bay. With a slight wind working its way through the area we had some great seabird sightings, as they soared by, including Cape Gannets and Giant Petrels. Our trip by the Islands produced some interesting views of the African Penguins and Cape Fur seals as did our stop at our sister company, Marine Dynamics, who were shark cage diving at the time and happened the have a large female Great White shark cruising around as we arrived. The sighting of the day however goes to the solitary Indian ocean Humpback dolphin that we encountered, along with a gang of Cape Fur seals. We were able to watch this dolphin for some time, porpoising along, dipping and diving, a great encounter!
