Whale watching trip from Hermanus

Ever dreamed of getting up close and personal to one of the biggest animals in the world! Now is your chance to see whales and other sea creates live!

Thanks to Southern Right Charters role as professional whale watching tour operators and their commitment to conservation, they have been given a permit that allows them to approach the whales up to 50 m. and then stay to observe. Whales, being naturally curious creatures, usually approach right up to the boat!

Whale watching trips begin with an on-land briefing led by a whale specialist guide before even getting on the boat. Then you set off from the Hermanus New Harbour on board of a catamaran specially designed for this kind of trips that provide superior viewing and comfort as you go on a search of the gentle giants! 

Onboard, you'll have a Whale Specialist guide that will interpret the marine life encountered en route and provide insight into the behavior of the whales. Also in the boat, you'll have a videographer will ensure that the best footage is captured and a friendly crew looking to make your experience amazing.

Once back on land, you'll be able to purchase a USB key with the video of your experience or relax at the center's outdoor seating on the edge of the Quay with reading material on all things whales while sipping a cup of coffee.
