Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 21 July

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

Trip Summary 21 July 2024:

We had a great day at sea filled with some fantastic sightings throughout the day. This morning we were heading around Danger Point and started the tour by watching some whales. On the second and third tour we saw some whales too and couldn’t have asked for better views of these majestic ocean travelers. During all three tours we visited Shark Alley to see the cape fur seals and approached Dyer Island in the hopes of getting a look at the endangered African penguin. We also visited the shark cage diving oats but only managed to see some Bronze Whales sharks on the first tour. The second tour of the day has also managed to get a glimpse of the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphins along the coast.
