HERMANUS

The best-known place for whale watching in the world

Hermanus

Built along the beautiful shores and cliffs of Walker Bay, Hermanus has grown from a small seaside resort town to become possibly the best-known place for whale watching in the world. Today, this busy town is more than just a popular holiday destination and offers visitors all kinds of activities, both energetic and relaxing.

Best time to travel to Hermanus

From June to November (winter and spring) are the best times to visit Hermanus – although cold, it’s the ideal time to view the Southern Right Whales.
