Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 31 July

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

Trip Summary 31 July 2024:

Today we had plenty of sunshine and great sightings. Today’s tours started by heading towards Danger Point and covering some deeper water where we spotted plenty of whales on all our trips. The species we have encountered include Bryde’s whale, Southern right whale and Humpback whale. We also visited the thousands of Cape fur seals on Geyser Rock, which are always a highlight and fun to watch. Due to some swell, we weren’t able to approach Dyer Island very close but on some of the tours, we were lucky to find penguins and other seabirds at sea.
