Witness the awe-inspiring power and grace of the Southern Right Whales. This is a journey to Hermanus, the whale-watching capital of the world, where these gentle giants come to breach, tail-slap, and calve just meters from the shore.
This full-day, seasonal tour takes you on a spectacular coastal drive to the charming town of Hermanus. You’ll have the choice to either board a specialized boat for an up-close (but respectful) sea-based whale-watching experience or to enjoy the world’s best land-based whale watching from the town’s famous cliff paths. The day also includes a scenic drive along the Clarence Drive coastal road and a stop to see the Stony Point penguin colony.
