Whale watching in Hermanus is an awe-inspiring experience, offering visitors the chance to witness majestic Southern Right Whales up close. Located along the South African coastline, Hermanus is renowned as one of the best places in the world for shore-based whale watching. From June to November, these gentle giants migrate from Antarctica to the warmer waters of South Africa’s coast to breed and calve. Visitors can spot them from various vantage points along the cliffs, particularly from the famous Cliff Path, offering unparalleled views of these magnificent creatures breaching, spy-hopping, and playing in the ocean. Hermanus also hosts an annual Whale Festival celebrating the return of these marine marvels.
