Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 31 October

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

Trip Summary 31 October 2024:

The last day of the month before we had into November. It is getting warmer each day and we are excited to get closer to summer. We had lovely temperatures throughout the day with some wind out at sea to cool us down and a little swell. Both crew and guests were excited to see what we might encounter. We headed further into the bay once we left Kleinbaai Harbour behind us, and surely we haven’t had to wait long. Sharks, whales, cape fur seals, endangered African Penguins one of the endangered Indian Ocean Humpback dolphins and even Bottlenose dolphins, weren’t too far apart. Bronze whaler sharks were seen around Marine Dynamics Shark cage diving vessel Slashfin, the Southern Right whales were active around the reef system and Pearly Beach, and vocal Cape fur seals could be heard once entering Shark Alley and shortly after thousands were seen on Geyser Rock. Last but not least, our beloved African Penguins were sunbathing on top of Dyer Island or taking a stroll along its beaches.
