Top Hermanus Whale Watching

Embark on a safari cruise in pursuit of the Marine Big 5: dolphins, African penguins, the Cape fur seal, the bronze whaler sharks, and several whale species. Over the course of two hours, you and your group will head out to where your guide knows these animals like to hang out, learning about the marine environment through guided commentary on the way.

Rather than just exploring the scenic nature spots of the Western Cape—this tour introduces you to the underwater world of Gansbaai. First, head out in a custom-designed boat to an area named ‘Shark Alley’. Then, descend underwater to spot several species of sharks, such as bronze whalers and seven-gill sharks, in an exhilarating cage diving experience. If you have questions—no problem. An experienced marine biologist joins you to teach you about shark identification and fascinating facts about these majestic creatures.
