Whale watching boat trips in Hermanus - June to Dec - each year

Hermanus is regarded by WWF and Greenpeace as being one of the world's best locations to watch Whales, it holds the annual week long Whale Festival at the end of September / early Oct, which attracts over 150,000 eager Whale watchers. Southern Right Whales, Humpbacks and Bryde Whales are spotted, with the highest number of 196 Whales ever being viewed in ONE day. (Whale watching season is from early June to late November each year.) Penguins, seals and sea birds are also viewed, with occasionally pods of dolphin. Boat trips will take you out to sea to meet them up close and go out 3 times per day (weather permitting)

There are only 5 boat licences allowed so as to minimise disturbance to the whales. 3 operate from Hermanus new harbour, 1 from Gansbaai harbour and 1 from Kleinbaai harbour. All trips are for 2 to 3 hours

Prices vary very slightly depending upon which boat operator you decide to go with. Kids discounts are available - PRICES HERE

There are also 4 other ways to watch the Whales -

1) Kayaking - 2 hours of gentle paddling at sea - Kayaks MUST be at least 300metres away from a Whale
2) Whale watching walking tours - 2hours along the cliff paths with a registered Tour Guide
3) Fly over them - in a 3 seater Cessna Plane
4) Walking Tours - along the fabulously scenic cliffs of Hermanus with a Tour Guide
