Whale watching Hermanus day tour experience - We recently took a day tour to Hermanus with Louis as our guide, and it was fantastic! Louis’s extensive knowledge of the region and everything we encountered along the way truly enhanced the experience. He shared insights and stories in a captivating and engaging manner, making every moment fascinating. Even the time spent on the bus flew by, thanks to his lively commentary. It was a memorable trip, and Louis played a big part in making it so enjoyable!

A day well spent! - Excellent trip today from Cape Town to Hermanus return. Charles, our tour guide, was helpful, knowledgeable, drove safely and was friendly and courteous. The coastal route to Hermanus was stunning. Equally, returning to Cape Town over the mountain via Sir Lowrys Pass was breathtaking. Excellent value for money. A day well spent and would recommend 100%.

Recommend - Just a great way to spend the day and make lifetime memories. Charles was lovely and knowledgeable and helped us get on the whale tour even though it was fully booked when we tried to reserve a seat in advance. After the whale trip, Charles was there to pick us up and take us to the cute village for a wonder before heading back to Cape Town. Along the way we stopped to admire the views, shop at a farm, get coffee and a bite to eat or use the facilities. I would recommend it as a solo traveler as it's social and engaging enough with sufficient time to explore without being in a rush.
