Marine Big Five Tour in Gansbaai, South Africa

We will take you to the whale hot-spots in the bay. With over a decade of experience, we know where to expect the best whale sightings. Southern right whale season is between mid-June to mid-November. Around this time, our focus will be on spending some time with these incredible whales who are visiting our shores to mate and calve. We can encounter the more reserved resident Bride’s whale throughout the year. From mid-December to mid-June, we actively search for this species during our tours.

We may also sight magnificent Humpback whales at the start and end of their migration season. We also have three dolphin species that move through the area – common, bottle nose, and endangered humpback – so if we are lucky, we may see one of those. Furthermore, we also hope to show you a bronze whaler shark or a great white shark. Remember that this is wildlife we are dealing with and sightings aren’t guaranteed, however, our team will do our best to show you as many of our Marine Big Five as possible.
