Common dolphins and more! Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 20 February

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

Trip Summary 20 February 2022:

We had another beautiful day at sea with some great encounters. We launched from Kleinbaai harbour mid-morning and were heading along the coast towards the shark cage diving boats and made a stop at Slashfin, there we saw plenty of active bronze whaler sharks. On our way to Dyer Island, we stopped at a reef and had a closer look at the kelp and even got to taste some of it. Further out we spotted a sunfish and some Giant Petrels as we approached Geyser Rock. We had a great time observing the Cape fur seal, especially the pups who are getting really active and practising their swimming every day. After a closer look at some penguins on Dyer Island, we were heading towards Kleinbaai harbour, but halfway there we came across a pod of common dolphins. What a spectacular ending to our tour!
