Blue had a blast at the Hermanus Whale Festival even supporting the educational talks and the penguin dance - “My was that fun.”

You can read more about the Dyer Island Conservation Trust at the Whale Festival on their blog here.

Hope to see you at the Great White House.

Remember if you visit all eight of us, you could win a trip with Dyer Island Cruises.
