Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 30 December

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

Trip Summary 30 December 2022:

Today we had some swell coming through the bay and wind blowing from the east. Along the coast, we spotted two humpback dolphins in the morning but couldn’t get close due to the swell. We all however saw the bronze whaler sharks at the shark cage diving boats which were anchored close by. At Dyer Island, we saw a few penguins in the distance and other seabirds that were returning to the island. On Geyser Rock and in Shark Alley we watched the Cape fur seals playing in the water or having a nap in the sun. On the second tour, we spotted a spout on our way home, but only some were able to get a look at the shy and elusive Bryde’s whale.
