Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 31 August

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

Trip Summary 31 August 2024:

We reached the end of August and were not disappointed. The sun was out and the temperature had risen for the day. Excited to see what might be out there for us today we welcomed our guests aboard, left Kleinbaai Harbour behind us and headed further into our bay. On our lookout for Marine wildlife, we stopped by Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel Slashfin hoping for some Bronze whaler shark activity. As the island system is a mandatory stop we were welcomed into Shark Alley by thousands of Cape fur seals swimming in the cool channel, sunbathing on Geyser Rock or watching us curiously as we passed by. Our beloved endangered African Penguins could be seen sitting on the boulders while our guests learned a bit more about the island’s history and the Penguins themselves. As our best whale sightings of our gentle giants are still around Pearly Beach we made our way over on all trips. To no regret, we encountered a few Southern Right whale pairs moving alongside the boat granting amazing views to our guests. Once again, thanks to everyone for joining our Marine Big 5 trips!
