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

Trip Summary 15 November 2026:

A slightly chilly day out at sea brought some lovely Marine Big Five sightings. Southern right whales were spotted along the Pearly Beach coastline, while Cape fur seals and African penguins kept us company around the islands. Bronze whaler sharks also made an appearance, adding to the day’s encounters. With multiple trips heading out, one lucky trip was treated to a sighting of the endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphins. Despite the cooler conditions out at sea, it was a rewarding day with a wonderful variety of marine life and some memorable moments shared with our guests
