    This is a regular tour to the charming 'off the beaten track' seaside village of Hermanus. Famous for its giant aquatic summer visitors, Hermanus has established itself as one of the continents most desired tourist destinations. But there is far more to this bustling seaside town than her whales.

    Join ME on a tour that includes dramatic mountain passes, beautiful coastal estuaries, secluded seaside retreats of the rich and famous and one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world.

    Hope you enjoy the tour ,the whales are awesome.

    Get yourself to an appropriately situated beach and enjoy.
    Alternatively get to any of the Bays south of Capetown and you're in luck.
    to do it with panache, book into one of the expensive well situated beach front hotel, with Whale View -of ocurse;

    or go to Bientangs Cave Seafood Restaurant, pay hard currency and watch the whales

    Hermanus is approx 1 hour drive from Cape town. Take the N2 northbound or the R34 which is the scenic coastal drive. See my Hermanus page for more details

  • Hermanus is about an hour from Cape Town, but well worth the drive. In August - October it is famous for the whales that descend on its shores. It also has numerous wonderful shops and restauarants. Accommodation ranges from 5* to cosy bed & breakfasts. The local tidal pool is a great place for a safe dip in the ocean. The nearby Hamilton Russell Winefarm is a good choice for superb wine tasting and buying. Get friendly with a local and they will tell u the ins and outs.

    Hermanus: Take the scenic route

  • If you are driving west from Cape Town and have some time to spare its worth turning off the N2 onto the R44 (Clarence Drive) and taking the coast road to Gordon's Bay and following it round to where you join the road to Hermanus. The road parallels the coastline almost all the way with wonderful views and beaches.
    At Betty's Bay you can stop off at Stony Point to see the Jackass Penguin colony. This is also a great place for land-based whale watching between May and December.

  • They say Hermanus is the place to go to watch whales... the weather's got to be just right for them to come in to the bay though... the day I was there there weren't any but it is a beautiful village. They say if you've got a house in Hermanus you've made it!!!
