Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 8 May

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

Trip Summary 08 May 2022:

Heading out of Kleinbaai harbour towards Danger Point this morning we encountered a group of pelagic birds including Sooty Shearwaters, Giant Petrels, White Chinned Petrels, Sub Antarctic Skuas, a large raft of African penguins and various Terns. Not long after we came across a rare sighting of a beautiful Mola Mola (Sunfish). Our trip led us to Geyser Rock where our Cape Fur seals were cooling down in Shark Alley and basking in the sun.  We then circled back to take a closer look at Dyer Island where we spotted numerous African penguins.
