Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 9 June

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

Trip Summary 09 June 2024:

We had a great day at sea with some light wind. Shortly after we passed Uilenkraalsmond we spotted a pod of 7 humpback dolphins. We also looked great at the Bronze whalers sharks and approached Dyer Island to see the endangered African Penguins. Most of the Cape fur seals were gathered on Geyser Rock whilst some were playful in the water. Out in the deep, we had several spouts at first but struggled to get great look at the whales but at the end, we found a surface active humpback whale. It first breached and the slapped its flippers numerous times onto the surface before throwing its tail into the air, what a great end to the tour.
