Your whale watching adventure to Hermanus starts with a comfortable hotel pickup in Cape Town, followed by a scenic coastal drive in a shared minibus. Along the way, your guide will share insights on the region and the whales that call these waters home.
At Hermanus New Harbour, you'll get a short safety and whale briefing before heading out on a specially designed catamaran for a 2-hour cruise. Southern right whales are the stars of the show, with humpback and Bryde's whales also possible depending on the season. Keep an eye out too for dolphins, Cape fur seals, African penguins, and seabirds, with your onboard guide offering commentary along the way.
Back on shore, you'll have some free time to explore Hermanus before rejoining the shared transfer for the return drive to Cape Town.
Please note: the whale watching boat fee is charged separately and is not included in the tour price.
Your tour guide will meet you directly at your selected pickup location. Please wait at the main entrance or reception area of your accommodation. The guide will contact you by phone or WhatsApp once they arrive and will identify themselves as your Aksanti Tours guide.
