Here’s an overview of your tour

As a life long resident of the Cape, I regularly visit Hermanus and the Overberg region. I also worked in the area for few years. I have also visited the area on numerous occasions to golf, fish, paddle, surf and holiday. Whales and nature are interwoven into the fabric of the area and I have a very good idea of where to spot whales along the coastline as well as offer local knowledge since I was a child.

* Whale season is from April to October, this trip is still worthwhile as there are opportunities to spot all manner of sea creatures.

Hermanus has been judged as the best place for whale watching in the world (April to October). There is also a world-class coastal drive along the mountains flanking the sea.

We also have the opportunity to visit a penguin colony in the Kogelbay biosphere with magnificent fynbos. The penguin visit is dependent on the weather conditions, thereafter as an alternative we go to the Harold Porter botanical garden for a relaxing stroll.

The Hermanus town is our destination where we can spot whales from the old harbor or cliff paths.

There is an option for a boat trip to view the whales up close and personal which is exhilirating. This is at an additional cost to the guest subject to weather.

We will have a seafood lunch before doing a wine tasting in the Hemel-En-Aarde valley.
