Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 3 September

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

Trip Summary 03 September 2022:

A fantastic trip this morning welcomed us with a beautiful sunrise and a pair of Southern Right Whales just a few minutes out of the harbour! The bird life was spectacular as we made our way towards the islands with various Tern species, Giant Petrels, Shy Albatross, Cape Cormorants and African Penguins all being out and about in the bay. Geyser Rock teamed with activity and the cape fur seals delighted us with their acrobatics while we also got another look at the African Penguins on Dyer Island. Surprises just kept us on our toes as we encountered a Southern Right Whale cow-calf pair on our way toward the shark cage diving boats where the Bronze Whaler sharks gracefully gave our guests some magnificent views before we headed back to the harbour.
