You will enjoy an educational and informative trip of the various Marine Life in Walker Bay. You will also enjoy the beautiful views of Hermanus and its Majestic Mountains. Sightings are NEVER guarenteed as these are wild animals living in the wild. We have no control over these beautifull creatures. But, throught the history of Whale Watching here in Hermanus the sightings have been superb and most trips are always successfull with sightings. 

Gansbaai / De Kelders is the most popular spot for the Southern Right Whales and generally has more activity of South Right Whale in the Gansbaai / De Kelders area. This has been proven over the many hears of countings and sightings in the area and why the founder of commercial Whale Watching in the Hermanus and De Kelders area chose this area to do Boat Based Whale Watching trips.

Do not pitch up at the offices and expect to get a booking on the Boat to go Whale Watching. You will be very dissapointed 🙁

The whale season runs from June (winter) to mid – December (summer), annually. The exact dates all depends when the Southern Right Whales arrive and depart.

We recommend that you avoid alcohol the previous night, as alcohol induces sea sickness.

You don’t want Sea Sickness to spoil your Whale Watching Experience.
