Whale Watching Hermanus

Hermanus whale watching season runs from June to December however, these are wild animals and should the whales change their migration schedule (arrive early and leave later) we will adjust our schedule accordingly.

While no two trips are ever the same, the journey generally lasts 2hrs, with our skipper and crews vast knowledgeable of the area we generally expect to sight whales, dolphins, seals, and an array of coastal marine fish and birds.
