Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 26 November 2022:
A wet and wild day on see, we saw another successful day with the Southern Right whales. With the season for the Southern Right whales coming to an end, it may be harder to find the few remaining mother-calf pairs along the coastline but our guests persevered and it paid off with both trips having some stunning sightings of this species. We also enjoyed some views of the Bronze whaler sharks as our sister company, Marine Dynamics were out in the bay shark cage diving and to finish off our trips a cruise by the islands, both Geyser rock and Dyer island to have a closer look at theCape fur seal and bird colonies.
