Marine Big 5 Daily Blog 23 September

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

Trip Summary 23 September 2022:

We had two brilliant trips today on board the Dream Catcher. On both trips, we spotted 4 of the Marine Big 5! We were even incredibly lucky to spot two different brindle calves on each trip. Our Southern Right whale sightings were phenomenal with over twenty whales seen throughout the day!

By Dyer Island, we spotted many African Penguins on land along with Cape Cormorants, Egyptian Geese, African Oyster Catchers, Ruddy Turnstones and Capsian Terns. In world-famous waters, Shark Alley, we enjoyed the 60,000-strong Cape Fur seal colony who put on quite a show to the delight of our guests and crew on board. By the shark cage diving vessel, Slashfin, we also witnessed some unrivalled Bronze Whaler shark action!

All in all, a fantastic day out at sea! A massive thank you to everyone who joined us on board.
