Guide Summary.
It was a great day to be out at sea, with 4 of the Marine Big 5 coming out to say hi. We began our trip by moving through to the Uilenkraalsmond Estuary, where we took a quick stop before spotting some dolphins. We had 3 Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphins, which included Summer.
After spending some time watching the dolphins swim through crystal clear water, we moved on towards Slashfin where we got a few great views of some Copper Sharks. The visibility was great all through out the bay, so it was awesome to watch them swim below our boat. we finished off our tour with some African Penguins at Dyer Island before cruising through Shark Alley to do some Cape Fur Seal watching.

What species did we see today?
Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphin Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphin
Humpback dolphins are an endangered species, with small populations living very close to shore, typically in water less than 25m deep and an average home range of 120km. Their proximity to land makes these animals particularly vulnerable to human influence.

With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
