Whale Season is here! ๐Ÿ‹

Francois Lebrun • Aug 14, 2023

Winter is here, and so are the whales! The first southern right whale baby was spotted in Walker Bay in late June and this indicates the start of the incredible whale season in Hermanus, just under 2 hours drive from Cape Town.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿคฉ

From June to late November, 100's of Southern Right Whales ๐Ÿณ migrate to these waters from their Antarctic feeding areas to breed, care for their young and play in our shallow waters for roughly 6 months every year.
 

The sight of these massive, gentle and inquisitive creatures is truly exhilarating for everyone – and for those that love nature, it is completely mind-blowingly astonishing. ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Whale watching in Hermanus can be experienced in various ways; either from land, by boat or from the air via a scenic flight. For the thrill-seekers, the closest encounter out there, is a guided ocean kayaking trip that promises to ignite your spirit of adventure and offers a unique way to explore the pristine coastlines.
