One of the best land based whale watching in the world - Hermanus
Whale Watching Season is early JUNE to end of NOVEMBER in Hermanus, South Africa. Hermanus has a glorious coastline and stunning scenery; there is no better place to visit and holiday than Hermanus during the Whale season – or any other time of the year actually, as there's loads to enjoy and explore!
Southern right whales migrate to Walker Bay in Hermanus from July onwards. Females gather here to give birth to their calves in calm waters that have a consistent temperature. They will stay in the region until the young ones are big enough to journey back home, to the colder krill-rich waters of the Antarctic.
