Land Based Whale Watching. Private Tour.

Activity Description

“Theme: Whales! Culture, History and Nature.
The South African coast is a haven for superb land and boat-based whale watching. Tours are offered during the peak whale season from July to November.
We follow the coast to Hermanus, with wonderful views of mountains, ocean, and beaches. We will stop to visit an African Penguin colony. In Hermanus we will have lunch and walk along the cliff path stopping to look for and watch the whales in the bay.”
