News Flash Whale watching boat trips - OPEN NOW
Hermanus Activities, Tours and Adventures are based in the delightfully pretty seaside town of Hermanus which has SO much going on that it is an adventure play-ground, (situated only 90 mins from Cape Town), the town is sandwiched between the very scenic horse-shoe coastline of Walker Bay (famous for its Whales) and a long, high lofty mountain range, a few kms inland. Hermanus offers so much to do and see; so many activities; so many restaurants and so many scenic locations, that you will be kept very busy and entertained exploring it all. |

Regarded by WWF and Greenpeace as being 1 of the world's best locations to watch Whales, it holds the annual week long Whale Festival at the end of September, which attracts over 150,000 eager Whale watchers. Southern Right Whales, Humpbacks and Bryde Whales are spotted, with the highest number of 196 Whales ever being viewed in ONE day.
5 separate Whale Watching boat operators offer trips that will take you out to sea to meet them very close up. Whale watching boats - season OPEN NOW |
Loads more to see and do in Hermanus..........
Great White Shark cage diving, Hermanus
Another major attraction is Shark cage diving, which operates all year long - sightings are NOT 100% guaranteed, this is nature..... - and is based 50 kms around the coast at Gansbaai. This is THE place in the world to do this once-in-a-lifetime activity and has attracted many famous Movie Stars, Royalty, Music Stars and nature film and TV crews. It is extremely safe and an exhilarating experience to be really so close up to these large creatures. The best visibility is during the South African winters (May to August) with the sea sometimes allowing you up to 10 to 20 metres of clear water to view them slowly glide by. The sighting “hit-rate” is about 99% all year long, with some trips having been known to witness up to 15 different individual great white sharks in only afew hours out at sea.
