The Southern Right Whale Adventure

When you first come face to face with a whale you are immediately struck with awe and a sense of the immensity of creation. These gentle giants of the sea return year after year to the same bays (at Hermanus, Hout Bay etc) and bask in the warm, shallow waters with their young. At Hermanus and Hout Bay, you can stand on the rocks and almost feel the spray of the whale as they blow water metres into the air. If you are lucky, you can be closer than 30 feet from the whales. The Whale season is from June to November, although some whales are spotted as early as April and as late as January.

After collecting you from your hotel door, we drive you up the magnificent coastline to Hermanus where you can see these magnificent creatures close up. Stand on the rocks and listen to the sounds of the whales as they spew spray metres into the air from their blow holes. Catch sight of mothers nursing their young. Our guides will regale you with all the facts and stories to keep you entertained for hours. Then enjoy a light lunch(optional extra) at one of the pretty restaurants in Hermanus, before making your way back via Gordon’s Bay.
