Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 28 January

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

Trip Summary 28 January 2024:

Today we had slightly more wind and some overcast sky and decided to head out in the afternoon as the wind was dropping down. We were heading along the coast towards Danger Point and continued through some deeper waters at the beginning of the tour.   Thereafter we continued toward Dyer Island to see the endangered African Penguin, but also saw more seabirds on and around the island as it is home to over twenty different bird species. Watching the seals is of great joy as always, they love swimming in the famous Shark Alley and can be quite curious. More and more seal pups are also gathering at the edge of the water and are soon swimming in the Alley too. Along the coast, we also stopped at the cage-diving boats and were able to have some great looks at the Bronze Whaler sharks and some seabirds.
