About Whale Watching Hermanus

A guide for your day on Walker Bay

Whale Watching Hermanus is an independent guide for everyone who wants to see southern right whales in Hermanus. Here you will find when the season runs, which whales visit Walker Bay, where to watch them from the Cliff Path, how the boat operators differ, what the Whale Festival offers, how to get here from Cape Town, and what a whale watching trip costs.

The site is written first in English and is available in five more languages.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: official bodies such as Hermanus.co.za, CapeNature, South African Tourism, the Overstrand Municipality, or the climate data from NOAA. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide. If a source does not provide something, we do not write it.

Whales cannot be ordered. That is why we also tell you when the chances are low, for example outside the season.

How we make money

Whale Watching Hermanus is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.

Who is behind it

Whale Watching Hermanus is run by Lukas Weber from München. You will find all details about the provider in the legal notice. The easiest way to send questions, comments, or corrections is to email [email protected].
