Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 17 April 2022:
With a little bit of wind and sea spray, we headed out on our journey this afternoon. We had a sighting of a seal feeding on a Guitar Shark as well as spotted some pelagic birds before heading towards our island system where we were welcomed by the Cape Fur Seals on Geyser Rock. The African penguins were spotted soaking up the sun on Dyer Island just before heading back towards the habour.
