Whale Watching - Hermanus
The East Coast of South Africa is home to popular beaches and bays and scenic mountain passes - but also home to the Southern Right Whale for a good part of the year.
From Cape Town, travel to Hermanus and take a motor boat or kayak out to meet the whales as they travel along their migration route or just stand on the beach and watch - they often come right up to the shore!
Walker Bay in Hermanus is said to have the worlds best land-based whale watching.
The whales can be spotted between June and November but the best time is around August/September.

Hi Warith! The whale watching in Hermanus is an optional activity that is offered on any one of our trips that go through the area during whale season. I have sent you some more information. Happy trails!

I and my wife, wish to make a one week long trip to southern africa, in September 2011. There are two two main objectives in our mind: 1. to get an opportunity of whale watching, 2. to visit victoria falls. 3 - 4 star / good guest house accomodation will be good enough. We are based in Oman and plan to come to South Africa by the Emirates airlines. Could you pleasae suggest an itenerary, and indicate costing. Many thanks, Warith
