Discover the unforgettable experience of Whale Watching in Hermanus, one of South Africa’s premier whale-watching destinations. From June to November, Southern Right Whales migrate to the coastline to mate and calve, making this the perfect time to see these majestic creatures.

Join our boat-based whale watching tour in Hermanus and get up close to whales as they breach, tail slap, and swim in their natural habitat. Whether you want a family-friendly tour or a more intimate private whale watching experience, this tour promises incredible memories for nature lovers, couples, and photographers alike.

After the whale watching, we’ll visit the charming Stony Point Penguin Colony in Betty’s Bay. It’s one of the best places near Cape Town to see African penguins in the wild. Walk along the boardwalk and watch these playful birds waddle, swim, and nest — a delightful experience for all ages.

On the way back to Cape Town, enjoy a relaxing stop at the beautiful Harold Porter Botanical Gardens. Nestled between mountains and sea, the gardens showcase South Africa’s rich indigenous flora, including the stunning King Protea — the country’s national flower. It’s the perfect way to unwind and connect with nature after an exciting day on the water.
