Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 7 August

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

Trip Summary 07 August 2022:

With two trips out at sea today, a little wind did not stop us from having some phenomenal sightings! Across both trips today, we were fortunate to have encountered numerous Southern Right whale individuals. Trip 1 saw 5 adult individuals while trip 2 got some incredible looks at 3 adults just cruising by the boat. Geyser Rock did not disappoint, with some lovely Cape Fur seal action on and around the island and on Dyer Island, it was a little tricky to spot some African Penguins but we got some glimpses of a few at the top of the island. The Bronze whaler sharks dazzled us around the shark cage diving vessels and on our way back to the harbour, trip 1 even got a lucky sighting of an African Penguin raft out and about!
