Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 12 October

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

Trip Summary 12 October 2022:

Today started overcast but throughout the day the sun came out.

Like yesterday we had whales all around the bay. On the first, we had Southern Right whales just outside the harbour and more along the coast, with a whale calf lifting its fluke out of the water, practising lobtailing. On the second and third tour, we saw more whales past a reef system, with one female lifting her head out of the water and a calf approaching our vessel.

At Dyer Island, we saw plenty of birds as well as some of the endangered African Penguins. On all trips, we also passed the Cape Fur seal colony and made a stop at the shark cage dicing boats to see some Bronze Whaler sharks!
