Boat Based Whale Watching in Hermanus is only 1.5 hours drive from Cape Town City Centre.

There is a famous cliff path along the ocean that spreads out for 12 km's. This is a beautiful walk and you can Spot Southern Right Whales along the Cliff Path.
Whale Watching Gansbaai is about a 2.5 hour Drive from Cape Town City Centre. We would advise that you give yourself 3 hours Traveling time just in case there are any traffic delays so you arrive 30 minutes prior to your Whale Watching Trip departs. Gansbaai is a lovely small quirky fishing village. Gansbaai experiences a lot of Southern Right Whale activity compared to most areas. This makes it a very attractive area to go Whale Watching. Also the Boat trip from Gansbaai Harbor to find the Southern Right Whales is generally shorter and therefor quicket to find.
