Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 26 October

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

Trip Summary 26 October 2024:

Let’s make the best of a nice day at sea, shall we? As we cannot head out to sea for the next couple of days due to stronger wind and swell we were ready to get the most out of our marine sightings. Welcoming our guests aboard we left Kleinbaai Harbour behind us, as usual. Our mandatory stops for the day: The Shallows, the island system and Pearly Beach. Making a stop at the local Shark cage diving boats anchored within the Shallows we were able to get views of our beloved Bronze whaler sharks curious about the divers in the cage. The big bulls were busy fighting for the females as we were already in mating season, while some other Cape fur seals distanced themselves by taking a swim in Shark Alley. Our beloved endangered African Penguins unaware of how busy it is on Geyser Rock were just enjoying the sun on top of the Dyer Island. We could not miss encounters with the biggest member of the Marine Big 5, whales. Heading through the reef system towards Pearly Beach we spotted some Southern Right whale pairs. After spending some time with them in coastal waters we completed successful trips out at sea! Once again, thanks everyone for joining us and we will see you very soon.
