Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 06 October

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

Trip Summary 06 October 2024:

Luckily, the fog had cleared and we were back in full visibility! We had another day of beautiful sightings ahead of us. Around the Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel we got a glimpse of the active Bronze whaler sharks thanks to the crew for keeping them around! We spotted some of the incredible Southern Right whales close to our reef system De Clyde and spent quite a bit of time with them before leaving them behind and finding some more closer to the harbour and the natural estuary closer to the coast. Heading closer to Dyer Island and Geyser Rock we were able to spot a few of the endangered African Penguins on the rocks together with a bunch of Cape Cormorants and were greeted by a few thousand Cape fur seals on the island and in Shark Alley playful as ever.
