Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 18 November

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

Trip Summary 18 November 2023:

As usual, we were heading out of Kleinbaai Harbour to see what was out there for us today. Cruising along the coastal areas we came across southern right whales. Spending some time with them was as fascinating as always! After some time we let them be and moved on to the Shark cage diving vessels and got to see the very active Bronze whaler sharks. In the distance, we could already see our next destination. The island system, Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. Heading straight towards the Seal colony we were welcomed by the Cape fur seals, numerous on land and several in the water. Moving on to Dyer Island we paid their neighbors, the endangered African Penguins a quick visit before it was time to head back to Kleinbaai Harbour.
