Molo Mola Mola! Marine Big 5

Heading out of Kleinbaai harbour we took our usual route along the coast and scanned the shallow waters for marine wildlife and were lucky to see a couple of Bronze Whaler sharks in the bay, even a shadow of a stingray in deeper waters. On our way to Dyer Island, we stopped for two juvenile African penguins making their way home and closer to the island we counted a couple more adults on a small stretch of beach hiding between all the Cape cormorant. After having also spent time around the Cape Fur seal colony we were heading through deeper waters and found the highlight of today’s tour, a sunfish (Mola mola). What a great day at sea filled with surprises.
