Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 05 October

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

Trip Summary 05 October 2024:

Being faced with even less wind than yesterday we were looking forward to a calm day but a thick wall of fog. As we had a busy day ahead of us we started rather early. At first, the sun was out and shining brightly until we had to face quite a bit of fog. To say the least, our sightings were phenomenal and the fog did not even bother! On the lookout for marine wildlife, we were not disappointed as we found some Southern Right whales in coastal areas and Bronze whaler sharks in the Shallows. Cape fur seals and the endangered African Penguins were found around the island system, consisting of Geyser Rock and Dyer Island, separated by Shark Alley. We hope you enjoyed our sightings as much as we did!
