Whale Watching near Cape Town, South Africa Welcome to Gansbaai, home of the Marine Big 5.
Trip Summary 26 April 2022:
We had a beautiful morning today, filled with some incredible sightings of two Bryde’s whales just a few minutes out of the harbour. We also had some encounters with a few large rafts of African Penguins on our cruise around the bay as well as had some views of them on Dyer Island. The warm day meant that our Cape Fur Seals were excited to have some swims in Shark Alley to cool down.
