Bryde’s whale! Marine Big 5 Daily Blog
Written by December 15 2021
We had an early start due to some stronger winds later and we were super lucky with the encounters we had. Off Danger Point we encountered Bryde’s whale we have been lucky to get some great looks at before moving towards Geyser Rock and Dyer Island. Geyser Rock was very busy and we had a lot of sea pups in-between all the adults. After a stop at Dyer Island we saw the penguins and cormorants.
