On Saturday 26 May 2018 we cruised out of the Port of Port Elizabeth onboard the AB Marine Whale Watching vessel – the prognosis for seeing Whales and Dolphins was not good as Killer Whales and Red Tide had been spotted in the bay. These apex predators are highly elusive and the result of dolphins and whales ‘hiding away’ whilst the red tide chases the fish away – meaning less food and less chance of a sighting. BUT, we were rewarded with the very rare sighting of a family pod of Killer Whales cruising in the direction of St Croix Island – very special times!
