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

Trip Summary 13 January 2025:

For a change, we had some east wind blowing in the bay, so we started our journey with a cruise along the coast and past the natural estuary of Uilenkraalsmond. Shortly after we arrived at the shark cage diving boats, we saw plenty of active Bronze Whaler sharks and kelp gulls flying over our heads. On our way to Dyer Island, we spotted a spout and saw a Bryde’s whale surfacing multiple times and not taking long dives. C;oser to Dyer Island we saw some penguins in the distance on the beach and a single adult slowly swimming through the kelp checking us out. While out here we visited the Cape fur seal colony and started our journey back to Kleinbaai harbour.
