Hermanus & Whale Watching Tour Highlights

Springtime Whale Watching in Cape Town

To begin, springtime in Cape Town marks the perfect season for a whale-watching tour.

Furthermore, during these months, Southern Right Whales migrate from icy Antarctica to the warm Cape Coast.

Coastal Journey to Hermanus

As a result, Walker Bay in Hermanus emerges as the ideal spot to view them up close.

Undoubtedly, this coastal haven offers some of the best whale-watching experiences in the region.

Firstly, our tour leaves Cape Town and journeys toward Hermanus along a dramatic coastal route.

Meanwhile, we pass through charming Gordon’s Bay and follow Clarence Drive for stunning views.

Furthermore, we continue past Kogel Bay’s azure waters and Pringle Bay’s charming houses.

Then, we travel through Betty’s Bay and Rooi Els, adding more scenic highlights.

Whale Watching in Hermanus

As we approach Hermanus, we stop at Fernkloof Nature Reserve for a wonderful viewpoint.

Additionally, this spot lets you appreciate both landscapes and whale-watching opportunities.

Later, you can choose to walk the cliff path for close-up whale spotting.

Or alternatively, you may opt for a whale-watching boat tour — booking in advance is recommended.

Return via Elgin and Sir Lowry’s Pass

Meanwhile, the return journey crosses Elgin’s apple orchards and climbs up Sir Lowry’s Pass.

Furthermore, from this vantage point, you can enjoy sweeping views across False Bay.

If conditions are clear, you may even glimpse Table Mountain in the distance.
