Into the Blue: Exploring Dyer Island’s Marine Marvels

Dyer Island in South Africa is a sanctuary for marine wild life, known for the abundance of wild life including whales and great white sharks. Definitely not one of your typical island tours but much better! Rating - 10/10. Truly unforgettable experience for me despite getting sea sick. The staff and marine biologists were extremely professional and taught us so much about the marine life and conservation. Getting There - Recommend to book one of the many tour package that can bring you on a whale watching tour around Dyer Island. Attractions - Chance to see the marine big 5 up close. 1. Needless to say, the highlight was seeing some Southern Right whales. We were so lucky that day and saw a mother and its calf coming up close to our boat! What an exciting moment! 2. We were able to see some sharks and if you are feeling adventurous, you can try the cage diving. 3. We went around the island and saw so many adorable seals frolicking around and hunting for fish. 4. Also visited a conservation facility for African penguins to learn more about wildlife conservation and penguin's habitats. 5. Didn't get a chance to see dolphins sadly so there is an element of luck. Food & Restaurants - We started the tour in a town called Hermanus. There are many food and lodging options there. #islandtour #travellerswonderland #100waysoftravel #awesomepic #southafrica #marinelife #safari
