Whales :
On the Cliff Lodge, in Hermanus provides awesome whale watching opportunities.
Each year from the month of July to the end of December, gentle giants of the deep glide into the bay, allowing us humans to marvel at their magnitude, as Walker Bay is the breeding ground of the Southern Right Whale, returning each year to meet with the same mate, to produce, and then 3 years later, spawn the off-spring of their labour, each one heralded on arrival by the Whale Crier - the only one in the world. The whales often sleep or laze the day away almost within touching distance while the more energetic entertain the crowds launching their huge bodies out of the water to come crashing down in massive displays of strength.
Throngs of local and international visitors flock to the region to bear witness, often taking part in the annual festivals and a kaleidoscope of culture and colour.
Whale watching boats leave from Hermanus in season about 3 times daily and should be pre booked.
