Feel the freedom of unbounded horizons as the Atlantic Ocean calls. From June to December, Hermanus comes alive with the magnificent Southern Right and Humpback whales, offering an unforgettable spectacle for nature enthusiasts. Join us on educational whale watching excursions during these peak months and immerse yourself in a thriving marine ecosystem.

Your journey begins with a drive along Clarens Drive, where you can take in spectacular views of False Bay. From the shores of Hermanus and the surrounding Walker Bay, you will have the chance to observe these majestic creatures up close, with the option to join a boat-based whale watching trip for an additional cost, subject to availability and weather.

No visit to this region would be complete without savouring the delights of the Hemel en Aarde Valley. Enjoy a wine tasting at the renowned Bouchard Finlayson estate, or, if visiting on a Sunday, take the opportunity to explore the charming Stoney Point Penguin Colony. Along the way, pause for a relaxing cup of tea at a quaint farm stall, where natural preserves, unique jams, and freshly baked pastries tempt the palate.

The day concludes with a scenic return over Sir Lowry's Mountain Pass, revealing long stretches of white sandy beaches along the False Bay coastline. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the iconic Cape Point, a perfect end to a remarkable adventure.
