Whale Watching Guided Tours

From $145 pp | Optional Boat tour $100 | Seasonal (June to November)

Experience the magic of South Africa’s whale coast with a guided day tour to Hermanus – the whale watching capital of the world. Between June and November, the southern right whales migrate to these shores to mate and calve, often coming within metres of land.

Depart Cape Town and enjoy a scenic drive along one of the most picturesque coastal routes in the country. On arrival in Hermanus, your guide will take you to the best land-based vantage points, or you can choose to upgrade to a boat-based whale watching trip for an up-close encounter.

Aside from the whales, the day includes stops at charming seaside villages, optional wine tasting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, and plenty of photo opportunities along the way.

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful coastal escape from the city.
