Whale watching season is the time to head off to Hermanus

The whale watching season in Hermanus starts in May and stretches all the way to December. The whales are often seen close to river mouths and in shallow waters.

It is such a delight for our family when we all head off to Hermanus for the day. The drive from Gordons Bay takes you all along the coastline, through Bettys Bay and you're bound to see a few whales spouting in the South Africa sunlight.

These are truly amazing creatures. The most common whale is The Southern Right Whale which is thought to live up to 100 years old.

Hermanus is famous for the whales that come to visit every year. You can enjoy watching them from many terraces and restaurant balconies in the town.
