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

Trip Summary 02 August 2024:

What great weather we had for today’s trips! We welcomed all our guests aboard our whale-watching vessel Dream Catcher and launched from Kleinbaai Harbour as usual. Excited about what we might encounter out at sea today we did not get disappointed! We had some more encounters with some Southern Right whales throughout the day either close to the harbour or in shallow waters in Pearly Beach. Watching these gentle giants our guests were definitely in awe. After some time spent with them, we decided to let them be and continued our trips. As the island system is a must we stopped by Geyser Rock as well as Dyer Island. Thousands of Cape fur seals were either soaking in the warm sun rays on the island or enjoying the cool waters of Shark Alley. At Dyer Island, a few of the endangered African Penguins could be seen on boulders or close to the water sitting on the beach.
