Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 13 November 2023:
Heading out to sea and leaving Kleinbaai Harbour behind us on another beautiful day. Guests and crew are excited alike about what we are gonna spot today. We were definitely lucky. Southern right whales were spotted in coastal and more shallow areas where they offered some amazing views and left our guests in awe. Sharks were seen while passing the Shark cage diving vessels. Cape fur seals were again aktiv and noisy as always on Geyser Rock in Shark Alley. The endangered African Penguins could of course not be missed so we stopped by Dyer Island on some of the tours to get a look at the residents from a distance before heading back to Kleinbaai Harbour.
