Daily Trip Update, 21 December 2019
Written by December 22 2019
We started the morning off with some beautiful views of our Bronze Whaler shark around the shark cage diving vessels after which we spent some time in the deeper water scouting for any indication of whales. With some quiet waters out in the deep, we headed to see our seal colony on Geyser Rock and as always they were filled with energy; jumping in and out of the water and being playful around the boat. Our African Penguin colony was taking in the sunshine on Dyer island and we got some great sightings of them. Our trip back to the harbour was relaxed as everyone enjoyed the ride back, having seen 3 of our Marine Big 5.

What species did we see today?
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.
Cape fur seal Cape fur seal
With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
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.
