Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 16 June

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

Trip Summary 16 June 2024:

Today was a thrilling day for our guests and crew alike, exploring the rich marine life around our area. We embarked on two unforgettable whale watching tours, each revealing the wonders of the ocean.

Our morning began with the majestic sight of  Bronze Whaler sharks and a graceful Short-tail stingray by a shark cage diving vessel. We then moved closer to the island system where playful Cape Fur Seals on Geyser Rock added to the day’s excitement. As we ventured into the deeper waters we came across a beautiful  Southern Right Whale! In the afternoon, the encounter with an incredible Humpback whale highlighted the day’s adventures. But that wasn’t the end for us today, we also got lucky to spot a Bryde’s whale, that was very relaxed and we managed to get some great sightings!

Reflecting on the day’s experiences as our sea day finished, we felt, as always, privileged to witness such natural beauty!
