Kayaking at Hermanus
Walkerbay Kayaking at Hermanus, very interesting and adventurous. Loved it.
HERMANUS
Hermanus is the 'jewel of the Overberg', or the 'whale capital of the world' - it depends on who you ask!
Hermanus is world famous for its land-based whale watching. The 12km long Cliff Path offers various view points to see the whales, with some taking you only a few metres from the whales!
They can be seen in the southern winter and spring season (June - November) after migrating from the Antarctic, when they seek out the waters of the Overstrand, especially Walker Bay, to calve and mate.
Nowadays much more than a sleepy old fishing village - Hermanus has loads more to offer. From spectacular restaurants, coffee shops and art galleries to various adventure activities, hiking/MTB trails and the picturesque wine route of the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) valley.
Due to its close proximity to both the ocean and mountains - it surely is a uniquely beautiful destination, well worth a visit!
This short video only scratches the tip of what is on offer in Hermanus.

Hermanus Travel Guide - South Africa Memorable Time
Hermanus Travel Guide - South Africa Memorable Time
Hermanus is situated at South Africa's south coast, near the Garden Route. Hermanus, a picturesque seaside town situated in the Overberg area and on Walker Bay, is a popular holiday village close to Cape Town. Two words come to mind: holiday & Southern Right whale watching.
The town, embraced by majestic mountaintops, is most famous for being the home of the Southern Right Whale. Every year these gentle creatures of the sea migrate along the coast of South Africa with Walker Bay as one of their destinations, to calve and nurture their young.
From the harbour of Hermanus, boat trips depart on a regular basis to see these majestic whales from up-close. One can also stay ashore as Hermanus is the best land based whale watching destination in South Africa, and possibly the world, especially during the Hermanus Whale Festival.
Apart from whale watching, the area of Hermanus boasts some excellent holiday accommodation such as the Misty Waves. Also, plenty of possibilities to spend the day in an active way: hiking, fishing, boating, horse back riding, and more.
Hermanus is around 1.5 hours drive from Cape Town Airport or 2 hours drive from the centre of Cape Town. Follow the N2 eastwards from Cape Town or westwards when coming from George and leave it near Caledon to join the R43. Alternatively, if coming from Cape Town, join the R44 at Somerset West to drive via the beautiful coastal road that takes you through Gordon's Bay, Betty's Bay (stop off at the penguin colony here if you have time) and Kleinmond and links up with the R43. The centre of Hermanus is compact and can be explored on foot from most of the guesthouses.
Hermanus is in the Cape Floristic Region and thus has one of the highest plant diversity levels in the world. The principal vegetation type of this region is Fynbos, a mixture of evergreen shrub-like plants with small firm leaves. In the local Fernkloof Nature Reserve, 1,474 plant species have thus far been collected and identified.
Grotto Beach is the largest beach in Hermanus and has also been proclaimed a Blue Flag beach. Blue flag beaches meet international Environment, Safety and Management criteria. Other beaches with Blue Flag status include Voëlklip, Onrus, Kammabaai, Langbaai, and Hawston.
Hermanus hosts an annual whale festival at the end of September, to celebrate the calving and mating season. Eco-Tourism is the main theme of the Hermanus whale festival with the Eco-Marine Village. Residents and visitors celebrate the migration of Southern Right Whales and other marine wildlife with ocean-themed activities and exhibitions, emphasising education and environmentally responsible adventures and activities. Prior to this main whale festival a Kalfiefees (or Calf Festival) is held, to welcome the first whales (usually in August). Both festivals are characterised by food and craft stalls, environmental presentations and South African drama productions.

Southern Right Whale watching at Walker Bay, South Africa
I captured these Southern Right whales and their watchers on iPhone video. This was at De Kelders, Walker Bay, near Cape Town South Africa in November 2013.
De Kelders falls under the Gansbaai municipal district. Gansbaai has become famous for Great White shark watching; although that is further south, around the point to the left from this video location.
I used the YouTube Video Editor ( to string together multiple clips.
