Another day with common dolphins! Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 21 March

Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.

Trip Summary 21 March 2022:

Today we still had some wind and swell in the bay but were delighted with all the wildlife we managed to see. Our first stop was at the shark cage diving boat to see some beautiful bronze whaler sharks passing in front of the cage. We spotted a couple of feeding terns and pelagic seabirds in deeper water such as Sooty Shearwater and White-chinned Petrel. We also got to see a spout of a Bryde’s whale, which disappeared quickly. In Shark Alley and on Geyser Rock we spotted plenty of Cape fur seals and two Giant Petrel gliding through the alley. At Dyer Island, we made two stops to see more seabirds and have a look at the endangered African Penguins. On our way back to Kleinbaai harbour we got surprised by a small group of common dolphins, what a treat!
