Whale Watching
 

From July to December whales congregate around the Cape coast to mate and give birth, after travelling from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic. The most commonly seen species is the Southern Right Whale, although a number of other species including the Humpback and Bryde’s also make an appearance.

One of the best land-based whale viewing spots is in Hermanus about 1½ hours drive from Cape Town. This is a delightful seaside town which makes a great day trip. During September there is the annual Whale Festival where there are organized events, exhibitions, talks and flea markets.
 

Whilst whale watching you will be exploring the magnificent coastline and bays and where dolphins, sharks, seals and seabirds are also regularly seen. 

If you’re wanting to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures around Cape Town, the best spots are in False Bay from Fishoek, Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, in Hout Bay or even along the Atlantic seaboard where they are often seen frolicking in the waters off Camps Bay.
