BIG 5 SEA SAFARI - WALKER BAY are highly recommended for a memorable 2hr Big 5 Sea Safari. Their goal is to target Walker Bays Big 5, Whales, Dolphin, Seals, Penguin and Marine Birds. Theydepart from the harbour of Gansbaai and cruise along the scenic route passing the cliffs of De Kelders and De Platt Beach. Observe the stunning coast line, contrasting white beach's with the blue skies and chameleon waters that stretch for miles from Gansbaai to Hermanus, we then set course and head out into the middle of the bay in search of our Marine Big 5. Bottlenose Dolphin are often seen on their trips and if you 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 they pay more attention to Danger point, this is often where they 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. Bryde's whales have an upright, falcate dorsal fin that is up to 46.25 cm (18.21 in) in height, averages 34.4 cm (13.5 in), and is usually between 30 and 37.5 cm (11.8 and 14.8 in). It is often frayed or ragged along its rear margin and located about two-thirds of the way along the back. On your Big 5 Sea Safari their 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 they can never guarantee what you will see, they hope to spot the 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. This stretch of water has earned its reputation by default, our Marine Big 5 Sea Safari is dependent on the water conditions at danger point, if the water conditions for this area will not deliver a memorable experience your trip may be switch to our Walker Bay Big 5 Safari as we always strive to deliver an experience you will treasure for a life time, and we must respect this stretch of water.
