Annually, both Southern Right and Humpback whales make their journey from their frosty feeding grounds off Antarctica to breed and birth their young in the warmer waters along the Southern African coastline. Knysna ranks as one of the premier spots for whale watching in the country.
Knysna is abundantly rich with regular sightings throughout the year - large groups of Dolphins and frequent glimpses of Brydes whales. From June to November/December, the migrating whales can be viewed in Knysna’s waters, rich with Southern Right and Humpback whales, as they traverse our coastline on their tropical route.
