Description

The Southern Right Whale is one of the largest mammals on earth with highly secretive mating and migratory patterns. Because of this, whale watching tours have cropped up around the bays of the Western Cape attempting to spot the illusive mammals. The Southern Right Whales are the subject of intensive investigation and study by a multitude of scientific communities around the world.

The Cape Peninsula is in a prime position to benefit from these migratory patterns as the Southern Right Whale passes by in great numbers. It is not unusual to be standing on either of the sides of the Peninsula and see a breeching whale, shooting its water spout high into the air.

However, if you want an up close and personal meeting with these magnificent, intelligent animals, we suggest that you book a trip on one of the many reputable More details

The Tour
Hermanus whale tours offer the visitor a stress free method of getting close to the whales without forking out hundreds of notes in order to watch these magnificent animals. As Cape Town has numerous cliffs and hills right next to the ocean, you can hire a car and take yourself, a picnic and a pair of binoculars to a view spot and spend the afternoon spotting the whales from a vantage point. However, there are numerous problems with this option. You are not guaranteed to see whales let alone be able to spot them when they are in the bay and, when you do spot them, they are far away from where you are sitting.
With organised trips, however, the whales are guaranteed to be close by. The smell of the sea and the magnificence of the animals are guaranteed to blow you away. Come and join us on this one day whale watching tour in Hermanus.
