Whale Watching in Gansbaai – Western Cape – South Africa

6 Southern Right Whales with calves where spotted in Gansbaai on 16 January 2009. According to Soné Boshoff from Dyer Island Cruises & Marine Dynamics this is the first time in the last 7 seasons that the Southern Right Whales are still in the area at this time of the year!
