537

Visit the Dyer Island eco-system and have the opportunity to spot the Marine Big 5: whales, sharks, seals, dolphins and penguins. Every year from June to December, the southern right whales arrive to mate and calve. Witness mating displays, breaching, tail slapping, spy-hopping and more. You may also see Bryde’s whales, humpback whales, the elusive humpback dolphin and the common dolphin.

An incredible array of seabirds and a sighting of the almost 60,000-strong Cape fur seal colony on Geyser Rock is guaranteed as the boat cruises down the famous Shark Alley. An on-board marine biologist will be on hand to teach you more about the amazing animals that visit these shores.

On the day of your trip, you will be picked-up from your hotel in Cape Town. Upon arrival in Gansbaai, enjoy coffee/tea and muffins while listening to a dedicated safety briefing. After you’re fitted with inflatable life jackets and wet-weather gear, take a 200 meter stroll down to the harbour to board the whale-watching vessel. Time spent on sea on average is two hours depending on sea conditions and marine life activity. Upon return to land,  receive an informative debrief while enjoying warm soup and bread. Professional trip footage is also available to purchase after the trip, so that you can have a permanent memory of your sightings. A visit to the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary is also included on your way back to Cape Town, to see the important efforts being made to rehabilitate injured and ill animals.
