Humpback Whales And Great Whites! Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 15 June
Written by June 15 2022
Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 15 June 2022:
What a fantastic day out at sea today! Across our two trips we saw a total of 8 Humpback Whales who put on quite a display for our guests and crew on board. Over at our shark cage diving vessel we were thrilled to see two Great White sharks around the cage, as well as some beautiful Bronze Whaler action. By Dyer Island our ever inquisitive, 60,000 strong Cape Fur seal colony happily cruised by our vessel and brought many smiles to those on board. We also spotted numerous rafts of endangered African Penguins out on the water on both trips today. All in all, a brilliant day for our guests and the Dyer Island Cruises team today!
