See Our Cape Town Whale & Penguin Watching Package!

Day Tour Summary

The Southern Right Whales migrate from the Antarctic to the coastal waters of South Africa to calve and nurse their young. These mammals, metres from the shore, provide an unsurpassed whale watching opportunity. Walker Bay, with Hermanus as the major town (Our Whale Capital), is known as the best place in South Africa for whale watching. This 10 hour full day tour includes a panoramic drive along three stunning mountain passes as well as along the coast of False bay, one of the most beautiful drives in South Africa. On the way back a Penguin Colony is visited. Time permitting we stop in Gordon’s Bay to wet our feet in the ocean or for a short beach walk.
