Visitors ask….
Which month is best for whale watching in South Africa?
Best time to go whale watching in South Africa
To see migratory southern right or humpback whales, visit between June and October. The best months are August to October, with the Hermanus Whale Festival taking place in late September or early October.
Which town is most famous for whale watching in South Africa?
It’s not every day that you see a whale. And there are even fewer days where you can see one from your bed. But in Hermanus, South Africa’s premier whale-watching destination, this is more than feasible, with guesthouses and hotels overlooking Walker Bay.
Is a whale watching tour worth it?
It provides amazing opportunities for spotting these majestic creatures, especially when you take a tour with a reputable and experienced company. Whale watching provides a chance to learn more about whales and their behavior as well as admire them in their natural environment
