The tour is exceptional because Hermanus ranks among the top land-based whale-watching spots globally. Here’s what makes this tour thrilling:

• Unlike most whale-watching locations that necessitate a boat, Hermanus offers remarkable shore-based views from its cliffs. The whales frequently approach within meters of the shore, creating a rare and extraordinary experience.
• Hermanus boasts the world’s only Whale Crier, who roams the town blowing a kelp horn to indicate whale sightings. This tradition infuses the experience with a distinctive cultural and historical allure.
• For those seeking a closer encounter, boat tours take guests into Walker Bay, where whales breach, tail-slap, and interact with their calves in awe-inspiring displays. Observing a whale up close in its natural environment is an unforgettable experience.
• In addition to whales, visitors might also spot:
  • Humpback whales and Bryde’s whales
  • Dolphins frolicking alongside boats
  • Cape fur seals lounging on rocks
  • Great white sharks in nearby Gans Baai
