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

Trip Summary 18 March 2022:

Today’s trip started with a sighting of a sunfish shortly after leaving Kleinbaai harbour. After we looked at this strange looking fish we got to see some sharks at the shark cage diving boats. Out in deeper waters, it has been rather quiet today so we continued our journey to Geyser Rock to see the Cape fur seal and even spotted a couple of Giant Petrels. We also made a stop closer to Dyer Island to see the endangered penguins before we spotted a lot of seabirds behind the islands feeding on some small schooling fish. Before we returned to Kleinbaai harbour we spotted a lot of penguins at sea and had a fantastic sight of these flightless birds.
