Every year, southern right whales travel to our shores from Antartica, treating locals to a spectacle of breaching, blowing, frolicking and fluking, amongst another playful camaraderie. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the occasional humpback or orca, as well as the ever elusive Bryde’s Whale with its unmistakable, ridged underside.

The Southern Right Whales come to the shores of the Cape Whale Coast from June till November each year to mate and calve in the shallow waters. There are also visiting Brydes and Humpback whales. There are also boat-based whale watching that start out from Hermanus and Gansbaai to give travellers an adventure on sea. The weather plays a huge role in the experience and if conditions are good then there are boat trips leaving at 09:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 15:00 daily. Areas designated for boat based whale watching have been carefully selected so as not to interfere with the whales’ habitat. There are three whale watching boats that leave Hermanus New Harbour for daily trips weather permitting. by Cape Whale Coast
