You can watch the whales breach and slapping their tales during the Winter months in Hermanus. Whether you choose to view on land or by one of the few boats, that are allowed to operate in the area, you will have a wonderful time as it really is a site to behold. For daily sightings visit the area between September and November where you're almost guaranteed to sight one of the many Southern Right Whales that choose to calve and mate in the Bay.
