Cape fur seals and more! Marine Big 5 Daily Blog
Written by November 19 2021
The first tour started with a visit to the shark cage diving boats and afterwards we continued to Pearly Beach in the search for whales but were unlucky. We continued to the islands before heading back towards Kleinbaai. On our way we got extremely lucky as Kira, our spotter, spotted some southern right whales. We spent some time with them before returning to the harbour. On the second tour we were heading to the spot where we had left the whales behind but weren’t lucky again to find them, whale season is truly coming to an end now. However, we still got to see some penguins, Cape fur seals and bronze whaler sharks.

What species did we see today?

With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
African Penguin African Penguin
As one of only 17 penguin species left in the world (and the only one on the african continent), the african penguin often breed in offshore colonies, such as Dyer Island.
Bronze Whaler Shark Bronze Whaler Shark
The Bronze whaler (also known as Copper sharks) here in Kleinbaai are very curious and interactive. These sharks eat mostly fish, with sardines being one of their favourites.
Southern Right Whale Southern Right Whale
Southern right whales attract thousands of visitors every year to experience these gentle giants off the South African coast.
