Overview

A spectacular natural event unfolds along the Hermanus coastline from June to December each year—the arrival of Southern Right Whales. These majestic creatures come to enjoy the warmer waters, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors to Cape Town.

This full-day whale watching and sightseeing tour offers more than just whale sightings. It takes you along the scenic coastal route led by a knowledgeable, registered guide, passing through the picturesque seaside towns of Gordon’s Bay, Pringle Bay, and Betty’s Bay. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Harold Porter Botanical Garden, Fernkloof Nature Reserve, the Eglin region, and Sir Lowry’s Pass, all while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings.

The highlight of the tour is, of course, witnessing the whales playfully enjoying the warm waters. For a closer look, you can opt for an additional boat ride to observe these gentle giants up close.
