Region
This wonderful seaside town, southeast of Cape Town, started out as a small and humble fishing village; today it is so much more!
World renowned as being one of the best land based destinations for whale watching, where up to one hundred Southern Right Whales visit from July to December each year to birth and rear their young, offering visitors a real and unique up close and personal opportunity to experience these majestic creatures in their most natural habitat.
Hermanus has more to offer than whale watching alone. There are many walking and hiking routes amongst the spectacular mountains and cliff walks offering observations of its various birdlife; beautiful beaches enticing sun-worshippers and water sports enthusiasts; galleries and markets; local restaurants serving fresh seafood, and not forgetting the wineries producing the famous top quality South African wines.
Beauty, grace, history and excitement, Hermanus has it all.
