We booked a whale watching trip on the last week of November, unfortunately due to bad weather we got moved a day but the change was well communicated and we could have cancelled. We drove down to Hermanus for the 11am trip. We were told that the 9am trip hadn't sighted any whales and were given the opportunity to get a refund but we are glad we didn't. We saw hundreds of dolphins, seals an eventually a whale & her calf. The crew were very informative After the trip we went into Hermanus town for lunch. Its a beautiful place and we will certainly come back again but earlier in the season

Whale watching was an incredible experience. We have whale watched in Alaska, Washington, San Diego and Maine. This was superior to them all. The boat is comfortable, the staff professional and knowledgeable. We hung close to a mother and child Southern Right Whale and then moved to another grouping at a greater distance. The wind was substantial but the captain kept the boat in excellent position. I got some great pictures, which rarely happens whale watching. We had a marvelous experience on a very blustery day.
