Across four trips, we witnessed some breathtaking looks at various cow-calf Southern Right whale pairs, we got some amazing looks at some Bronze Whaler Shark activity around the shark cage diving vessel, witnessed the acrobatics of the Cape Fur seals on Geyser Rock and spotted some African Penguins on Dyer Island as well as in the water! Trip 3 had some breathtaking looks at a brindle Southern Right Whale calf and its mother cruising along in the bay as well.
