Hermanus – Whales: Special and unique experiences

Hermanus in South Africa is located approx. 120 km from Capetown on a strip between the Sea and the mountains. If you once would like to admire the whales from the firm ground then you should reserve a hotel or a holiday flat in Hermanus.

In Hermanus there is a nearly freaking and crazy peak season in Hermanus. Whale watching is the reason for that. Watch the magnificient se animals from the firm ground. Hike through the cliff path called „Cliff Walk“, directly at the Sea through the rock formations, passing small bays and beaches for swimming - again and again an unobstructed view to the fantastic sparkling of the Sea and on the whalres.

Maybe you meet the Whale Crier during your walk through the village ? This whale crier shuttles through the village, blows his kelp horn and carries a board where you can read where the whales have been seen recently. You can also feel maritime flair in the fisher´s museum at the harbour.

Ypu love a day far away from tourists and buzzling activity ? Then leave your hotel and drive to Stanford which is only some kilometres away. Stroll through the streets with the beautiful preserved houses of the Victorian Style. Enjoy the famous vines of South Africa in a pub and let you recommend the traditional food in one of the restaurants.

The cuisine of South Africa is multifaceted. Influences from the Netherlands, India or England can also be felt during the meal. Taste Braai, the fresh seafood and spicy currys. It´s no problem to find the right food for any taste. So your vacation to Hermanus and South Africa will become a special experience.
