Marine Big 5 Trip Summary: 28 August 2022

We had four fantastic trips today out at sea aboard the Dream Catcher. On our first three trips of the day, we spotted 5 out of 5 of our Marine Big 5, to the delight of our crew and guests on board! Our sightings included Southern Right whales, Bottlenose dolphins, Bronze Whaler sharks, Cape Fur seals, and African penguins. We also witnessed spectacular bird life such as Little Egrets, Ruddy Turnstones, African Oystercatchers, Giant Petrels, White Chin Petrels, and Egyptian Geese. Our fourth and final trip of the day saw four of our five species. Sadly, the dolphins alluded us; however, we still had some phenomenal marine wildlife sightings!
