September sea sightings

As the winter progresses the sea sightings start to ramp up along the South African coast. Cetacean (whales and dolphins) sightings are best this time of they year, in particular Southern right whales will often put on a good show (e.g. breaching as shown in the photos below). It's also a good time and place to encounter a variety of other species, such as Cape fur seals, sharks and a range of marine birds.
