About this experience
The tour is special because Hermanus is one of the best land-based whale-watching destinations in the world. Here’s what makes this tour exciting:
-Unlike most whale-watching destinations that require a boat, Hermanus provides incredible shore-based sightings from its cliffs. The whales often come within meters of the coastline, making this a rare and special experience.
-Hermanus has the world’s only Whale Crier, who walks around town blowing a kelp horn to signal where whales are spotted. This tradition adds a unique cultural and historical charm to the experience.
-For those who want an even closer look, boat tours take visitors into Walker Bay, where whales breach, tail-slap, and interact with their calves in breathtaking displays. Seeing a whale up close in its natural habitat is an unforgettable moment.
-Beyond whales, visitors might also see:
Humpback whales and Bryde’s whales
Dolphins playing alongside boats
Cape fur seals basking on rocks
Great white sharks in nearby Gans Baai
