Heading out to look for whales. We are fortunate that the right whales often come very close to the shore, making them easy to watch. However, I recommend bringing a pair of binoculars for your next booking with us to observe whales that are further out to sea. A camera is essential if you wish to capture any memories, and a good zoom lens is advisable. Stay vigilant for the occasional rogue wave that often catches people by surprise. Spend the day whale watching in Hermanus and see the migration of Southern Right Whales off the coast from June through mid-November. Visit the largest colony of African penguins at Stony Point. Drive along the spectacular R44, Clarence Drive, passing by Gordon’s Bay. Sample some of the local wines at Peter Falke Wine Estates or at Cavalli in Stellenbosch, the heart of South African wineries. Discover what makes the South African coast unique from the rest.
