Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 17 January

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

Trip Summary 17 January 2025:

The weather was perfect, and we set sail from Kleinbaai harbour. Past Uilenkraalsmond, we stopped at the shark cage diving boats and saw plenty of Bronze Whaler sharks. Not long after leaving them behind, we encountered the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphins in the coastal waters close to the beach. Our next stop was Dyer Island to see the critically endangered African Penguin. While there, we also saw Cape Cormorants and various terns flying over the island and our heads. Thousands of Cape fur seals were once again at Geyser Rock and the famous Shark Alley and fascinating to observe.
