Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 1 May

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

Trip Summary 01 May 2022:

A beautiful day greeted us as we launched our trips today, both trips had some amazing bird species including sightings of a Shy Albatross. We were fortunate to have stolen some glances of a Bryde’s whale after a short trip into deeper waters. We also stopped by Geyser Rock to catch our Cape Fur Seals cooling down in the turquoise waters of Shark Alley while the African Penguins of Dyer Island were basking in the sunshine.
