Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 07 October 2022:
We had a swell day out at sea today! Both of our trips had some beautiful Southern Right whale sightings with a total of 10 whales spotted! We also got treated with some fantastic action from the 60,000-strong Cape Fur seal colony on Geyser Rock. In Shark Alley we also had some amazing bird sightings including thousands of Cape Cormorants on Dyer Island. By our shark cage diving vessel, Slashfin, we witnessed some brilliant Bronze Whaler shark action!
