Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 13 September

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

Trip Summary 13 September 2023:

Fantastic day with some fantastic sea conditions out there! We started our day on a very high note, checking all three whale species off our list: Humpback, Bryde’s, and a few Southern Right whales. We couldn’t have asked for more, especially with some lovely sightings of a Shy albatross and our usual visit to the island system to see thousands of Cape Fur seals and some sneaky African penguins on Dyer Island. Throughout the rest of the day, we got to see plenty of southern right whales just off Uilenkraalsmond, we could look around the boat and see them in all directions. On most trips, we visited the shark cage diving boats.
