Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 15 November

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

Trip Summary 15 November 2024:

We welcomed our guests aboard and headed out to find some marine wildlife. Heading towards coastal areas we were super lucky to have spotted some of the endangered Indian Ocean Humpback dolphins close by and super active which is not always the case when it comes to this particular species. Not far off at Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel Slashfin, we watched the Bronze Whaler sharks investigating divers and the cage. It is getting close to the end of whale season but we have not given up yet! Even though we were not too lucky the day prior, we spotted a pair of Southern Right whales in shallow waters today! After we spent some time with the pair we let them be and headed towards the island system where we could see both Cape fur seals and the endangered African Penguins. The fur seals on Geyser Rock loudly greeted us once we entered Shark Alley whereas the endangered African Penguins were sunbathing on the boulders on top of Dyer Island or seen in the water.
