Whales can be seen around our shores
from late June to mid November.
These perennial visitors can be easily spotted from
the shore as well as boat-based whale-watching. Of
the estimated 7000 Southern Right Whales in the southern
hemisphere, approximately 2000 make the journey to
the South African coast each year. These large numbers
contribute to making South Africa a premier whale-watching
destination. Hermanus,
in the Cape Overberg, is the best spot for viewing
these giant mammals.
