Dyer Island, Geyser Rock and Shark Alley

The original name of Dyer Island is Ilha da Fera translated -Island of wild creatures, which was named by Portuguese seafarers in the 15th century.

Dyer Island is the largest of a group of islands about 8 km (5 miles) offshore from Gansbaai and not very far from Danger Point peninsula. The Island is named after Samson Dyer, an immigrant from the USA that came to the Cape Colony in 1806. He lived on the island collecting guano, which he then sold to the mainlanders as fertilizer. The island is home to a declining colony of Jackass Penguins formally known as African penguins (A count of 5000 Penguins in 2015).

Geyser Rock is a smaller island and is home to about 60,000 Cape fur seals.

The shallow channel that lies between these two islands is known as “Shark Alley“.

Dyer Island is a declared nature reserve and cannot be accessed by the general public, but can be seen by going on Great White Shark Experience or a Whale Watching Trips.
