WHALE watching in Hermanus is regarded by WWF and Greenpeace as being one of the world's best locations to watch Whales, it holds the annual week long Whale Festival at the end of September, which attracts over 100,000 eager Whale watchers.

Southern Right Whales, Humpbacks and Bryde Whales are spotted, with the highest number of 193 Whales ever being viewed in ONE day in October 2008. (Whale watching season is from June to December each year.) Penguins, seals and sea birds are also viewed, with occasionally pods of dolphin. Boat trips will take you out to sea to meet them up close :-))) There are only 4 boat licences allowed so as to minimise disturbance to the whales. One trip I did last week was incredible as a whale actually rubbed its back on the bottom of the boat. Mind-blowingly excellent :-)))

Great place to go whael watching. You do not even have to get on a boat to see the whales breaching. Especially in september you can easily see lots of them from the shore.

Go there sometime between August and October - the whales come really close to the coast and the whale boats take you even closer to them! Awsome experience!
