Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 11 November
Written by November 11 2021
Today we had another day with good whale sightings in Pearly Beach followed by Cape fur seals at Geyser Rock and African penguins at Dyer Island. On both trips we were heading to Pearly Beach where we found a couple of southern right whales. During the day the wind was picking up as well as the playfulness of some southern right whale calves and we got lucky to see some breaches in the afternoon.

What species did we see today?
Cape fur seal Cape fur seal
With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
Southern Right Whale Southern Right Whale
Southern right whales attract thousands of visitors every year to experience these gentle giants off the South African coast.
African Penguin African Penguin
As one of only 17 penguin species left in the world (and the only one on the african continent), the african penguin often breed in offshore colonies, such as Dyer Island.
Bronze Whaler Shark Bronze Whaler Shark
The Bronze whaler (also known as Copper sharks) here in Kleinbaai are very curious and interactive. These sharks eat mostly fish, with sardines being one of their favourites.
