Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 01 February

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

Trip Summary 01 February 2025:

What other way than to welcome February with a Marine Big 5 trip? Welcoming our guests back aboard Dream Catcher we left Kleinbaai Harbour behind us and made our way towards the natural estuary of the area. We moved swiftly along and ended up at Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel Slashfin. Within the Shallows several Bronze whaler sharks made an appearance. Shortly after we headed through the reef into deeper waters before we made a stop at the island system. African Penguins and Cape fur seals were either sunbathing on each other’s colonies, Geyser Rock and Dyer Island or hunting for prey in deep waters far behind the island. Another chance was taken in deeper waters where we spotted Bryde’s whales. Luckily enough we have gotten a few nice looks at this elusive species.
