  • Hermanus - Upon arriving at Hermanus Harbour, guests will be asked to sign a consent form and given a safety briefing before boarding the boat for a Whale Watching excursion. The trip will last about 2 to 3 hours.

During the journey, a marine biologist will provide detailed information about the whales, including why they visit our shores at this time of year and some of their common behaviors.
