Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 14 November

We had some incredible sightings of southern right whales on both our tours. We encountered two southern right whale mothers and their calves in the Pearly Beach area, in the morning they had a super close look at tour vessel and in the afternoon one of the calves was playful and breaching several times while mother was slapping her flipper onto the surface. We also saw the bronze whaler sharks as well as Cape fur seals and the endangered African Penguin.

What species did we see today?

With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
African Penguin African Penguin
As one of only 17 penguin species left in the world (and the only one on the african continent), the african penguin often breed in offshore colonies, such as Dyer Island.
Southern Right Whale Southern Right Whale
Southern right whales attract thousands of visitors every year to experience these gentle giants off the South African coast.
Bronze Whaler Shark Bronze Whaler Shark
The Bronze whaler (also known as Copper sharks) here in Kleinbaai are very curious and interactive. These sharks eat mostly fish, with sardines being one of their favourites.
