Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 12 February

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

Trip Summary 12 February 2022:

On our way to Danger Point, we spotted a sunfish, which is also known to be the heaviest bony fish. Off Danger Point, we first spotted some Sooty Shearwaters and a White-chinned Petrel before we saw a spout in the distance. The Bryde’s whale we encountered was quite on the move but we had some looks at this shy and elusive species before heading to Dyer Island. At Dyer Island, we saw some penguins and plenty of Cape Fur seals on the neighbouring island named Geyser Rock. On our way back we were heading to shallower waters and stopped at the cage diving boats to see the bronze whaler shark.
