Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 10 March

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

Trip Summary 10 March 2024:

We have a beautiful sunny and calm day ahead of us! As usual, we were heading out of Kleinbaai Harbour and headed towards the natural estuary of the area. On our way over we encountered a big raft of African Penguins! Moving on we ended up in the Shallows, where the Shark cage diving companies operate. We stopped by Marine Dynamics vessel Slashfin and due to great visibility we got some amazing views of our beloved Bronze whaler sharks. After spending some time with them we headed towards the reef system. In the distance, we spotted two endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphins. The dolphins were super active and curious, even coming closer to the boat to investigate! We decided to let them be and continued into deeper waters before heading to the island system. Once arrived at Dyer Island we got to see some more of the endangered African Penguins on the boulders close to the water. Before heading back to Kleinbaai Harbour we moved over to Geyser Rock where some of the Cape fur seals were watching our boat pass while others were cooling down in Shark Alley.
