Big 5 Sea Safari Trip Diary – 1 March 2022

"Tuesday’s trip was a trip to remember with Walker Bay at its finest. Not many birds out and about, but it was definitely the day of the dolphin. Right outside of the harbour we had our first sighting of the day with a seal chowing down on an octopus. Shortly after we found not one, but three ocean sunfish (Mola Mola) basking together. We then encountered the stars of the show, our first pod of 500 – 1000 long-beaked common dolphins. These energetic dolphins never disappoint as they showed their speed and agility. Crystal clear waters made tracking them around our boat an incredible experience.

Travelling further down Die Plaat towards Hermanus, we found a second pod of roughly 500 – 1000 long-beaked common dolphins. These guys were on the hunt, but still gave us a spectacular show. Before heading back to the harbour, we paid a visit to our Roman’s Bay seal colony with some of the clearest water we have ever seen. Urchins, sea stars and anemones were clearly visible on the rocky ocean floor. In total we saw 7 ocean sunfish on the trip which is an exceptionally high number."

8 December | Daily Trip Update by Jax Bath

Yesterday, we witnessed an amazing sight.

One of our newborn seal pups, who happens to be very naughty, found himself in the water. We had watched him skirting the edge of the rocks in trepidation, and eventually, he found himself in the icy cold waters of the Atlantic.

Newborn pup fur is not equipped for swimming or the cold, so we were super worried about the little one as he was swept off. Amazingly, a few seals in the immediate vicinity stepped in to help, trying to push the pup up from below or grab hold of him and pull him up to safety.

To our dismay, the little one didn’t seem to notice that the others were trying to help, bearing his teeny tiny teeth instead and making it difficult for the other seals to grab hold of him. Eventually, a wave helped a little as baby pushed up onto the rock, with another seal checking in and giving baby a bit of a snuggle.

Displays like this really bring home how little we know about the complex lives and relationships of marine mammals. With 3 seals trying to help, only one could have been the mother, if she was about at all, really pointing towards a sentient side to these incredible sea dogs.

🌊✨ Throwback to an unforgettable day out at sea! 🐋💙

'We saw 2 different species of whale, dolphins, seals and a ton of seabirds.
There was a lot of fish about in the bay as we set out, with Swift Terns and Sandwich Terns dominating the sky as a mega flock of Cape Cormorants swarmed in the middle of the bay.

It didn’t take too long to spot our first whale, with a Brydes Whale blowing in the distance! We approached to find a mother Brydes Whale lunge feeding, with a little baby at her side. Baby looked like he was trying to learn the ropes, practising his little lunges as mother swallowed a few mouthfuls of food. Whilst watching the whales, we also got to watch a feisty Cape Fur Seal eat an octopus.

After this special sight, we found ourselves immersed in the swarm of Cape Cormorants before spending some time with a cow calf pair of Southern Right Whales down by the beach. This baby is already nice and fat and looks like he will soon be migrating to Sub Antarctica.

We then made our way towards the seal colony, catching up with some ever-stunning Common Dolphins along the way. After spending some time with our Cape Fur Seals at Romansbaai Rock, we made our way back into the harbour.' (Jax Bath)

Ivanhoe Sea Safaris and Cape Town Day Tours bring you Big 5 Ocean Safaris!

🌊 Embark on an exhilarating journey with Ivanhoe's Ocean Safari! ✨ Located just 2 hours from Cape Town, the marvels of Gansbaai and Walker Bay are ready to be explored. Picture yourself gliding across shimmering waves, encountering magnificent whales, frolicking dolphins, and delightful seals, with the iconic penguins greeting you! 🐧🐬🐳 Are you prepared to witness the ocean's big 5? Join us for a day brimming with stunning views and lasting memories! Reserve your place today and let the ocean liberate your spirit! 💙🐾

Our goal is to target Walker Bays Big 5, Whales, Dolphin, Seals, Penguin and Marine Birds. Departing from the harbor of Gansbaai and cruise along the scenic route passing the cliffs of De Kelders and De Platt Beach.

Bottlenose Dolphin are often seen on our trips and if we are lucky enough to encounter a school this is the time to grab the Zoom lens as Dolphins love to entertain and it’s a photographer’s paradise.

On our return to Gansbaai harbour we pay more attention to Danger point, this is often where we find the resident Bryde's whales of the area.

Bryde’s whales are hunters and feed on wide variety of fish, mackerel is common to the waters as well as planktonic, crustaceans, and cephalopods.

On your Big 5 Sea Safari our crew will educate you on all aspects of Marine life, with a qualifying Marine Biologist and a Skipper with over 15yrs experience there is a wealth of knowledge for you to tap. No trip is the same and we can never guarantee what you will see, we hope to spot our local Marine Big 5, but there is also so much more Marine mammal and bird life on offer. It's an avid photographers dream!

Finally we must not forget the past, Danger Point is also famous as this is where the British iron paddle-wheel frigate HMS Birkenhead, weighing 1400 tons, was tragically lost.
