Conditions were ideal at the dolphin viewing platform early on Saturday morning

FOR those who have the patience and who are prepared to sacrifice some early morning sleep, the dolphin viewing platform at Alkantstrand continues to make it worth the effort.

The endangered and extremely striking Humpback dolphins are most often spotted in the early morning or late afternoon as they feed off the pier (northern breakwater) at Alkantstrand.

However, the fortunate and experienced dolphin spotter may see them at any time of day.

Richards Bay appears to have the highest number of Humpback dolphin sightings in the country.
