Wildlife
Hermanus is a renowned land-based whale watching destination. Southern Right Whales can be spotted from June to early December, and return each year as the sheltered Hermanus Bay is believed to provide the perfect ‘nursery’ for them to mate and calve.
The Marine offers exceptional views for whale watching. If you want to get closer to these creatures boat trips, sea kayaking and scenic flights over Walker Bay can be arranged.
In addition to Southern Right whales, there are also Humpback whales, resident Bryde’s whales and even the occasional Orca is spotted in the bay. Hermanus is home to the marine ‘Big Five’, the Southern Right Whale, Great White Shark, Cape Fur Seal, Common Dolphin and African Penguin.
