Pelagic birding trip from Cape Town with “Cape Town Pelagics”.
Join Cape Town Pelagics for a day on the ocean looking for seabirds. Cape Town is one of the best spots in the world due to the proximity of the continental shelf and an active fishing fleet behind which seabirds congregate.
Expect to see various species of albatross, shearwater, petrel, storm petrel, and skuas out in the deep, while four species of cormorant, Cape gannets and African penguins are easily seen closer to shore. Seeing thousands of birds behind a trawler is one of the great wildlife spectacles, not to mention the many rare birds that are often spotted on these trips.
