Hermanus / Overberg (Whale-watching)

HermanusA great tour because of its different landscapes and beautiful views, and not only during the whale season!

In the morning we collect you at your accommodation in Cape Town and take you through the Cape Flats and a short visit to the townships up to Sir Lowry’s Pass. From there you have a wonderful view of False Bay, the Cape Flats and Table Mountain.

We drive through productive fruit farms around Grabouw and over the Houw Hoek Pass to the Botrivier valley and then towards the coast at Hermanus.

Whale CrierHermanus is the main site in South Africa for whale-watching during the whale season (from June to October). With a little bit of luck and when the sea is quiet you will be able to watch the whales very close to the land. Hermanus is the only town in the world that has a whale crier.

WhaleFrom Hermanus we follow the coast via Kleinmond and Betty’s Bay and then via a wonderfully scenic coastal road along False Bay to Gordons Bay. Depending on the available time, we will visit an historic wine farm, which is well known for its beautiful restored old buildings and stunning landscape with trees declared as national monuments (this depends on how much time was spent in watching whales).

We will then take you back to your accommodation in Cape Town.
