Hermanus
Hermanus is situated about 120km from Cape Town and has the status of being the best land-based whale watching destination in the world. Southern right whales visit Walker Bay from June through to December and can be viewed from aboard a boat, an airplane or the shore.
Hermanus is home to the world’s only Whale Crier who blows his kelp horn when whales are spotted along the central sea route. Hermanus may no longer be a village, but the character and atmosphere of this vibrant town offers a lifestyle few places can match. A number of craft markets sell a range of interesting wares, a marimba band frequently adds a vibrant atmosphere at the old harbour, with its restored fishing boats.
Shark cage diving provides an adrenaline fix for adventure lovers and kayaking trips on the sea or lagoon can also be enjoyed.
