Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 20 January

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

Trip Summary 20 January 2025:

Out in the deeper waters beyond Danger Point, we have been lucky to spot a couple of spouts and see a Bryde’s Whale. Our first sighting was of a mother and young, and then we spotted another adult a bit further off. Our next stop was closer to Dyer Island where we saw some of the penguins and Cape Cormroant posing on the white boulders. Just around the corner, we saw thousands of Cape fur seals on Geyser Rock. The pups are still only on land, and they definitely stole the show with their cuteness. Before heading along the coast to the harbour we stopped at the shark cage diving boats and saw some Bronze Whaler sharks.
