Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 23 October

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

Trip Summary 23 October 2024:

We started with a bit of wind but it calmed down quite a bit throughout the day. Heading out to sea it was a warm and sunny day. Leaving Kleinbaai Harbour behind us we started our lookout for some marine wildlife. Bronze whaler sharks were super active in front of Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel Slashfin where we could get some nice close-up looks of the sharks as they decided to check out our vessel as well. The astonishing Southern Right whales were seen in coastal areas where several pairs were spotted with which we were able to spend a bit of time before letting them be. Entering Shark Alley we were met by numerous Cape fur seals cooling down in the water whereas others decided to dry off or sunbathe on Geyser Rock. The endangered African Penguins were relaxing on top of Dyer Island or were spotted taking a stroll on one of its beaches.
