The Hermanus cliff path hugs the coastline and offers a 12km path for walkers and hikers alike. Start near the new harbour and enjoy a visual journey along the beautiful rugged coastline to Grotto beach, this path offers many benches to sit and watch the whales or to enjoy ocean views.
The entire cliff path is protected within the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, proclaimed in 2000, in a bid to protect the fragile ecosystem alongside Walker Bay.

In Whale Season (from June till December) you can spot whales along the cliff path, famous whale watching spots are Gearings Point, Old harbour, Roman Rock, Mickey, Kraal Rock, Silver's Point and down to the beaches of Kwaaiwater, Voëlklip and Grotto Beach.

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.

Aerial Footage - The world famous #Hermanus Cliff Path
The world famous #Hermanus Cliff Path is perhaps the most popular trail in Hermanus stretching from the New Harbour for about 12km along the rugged coastline all the way to Grotto Beach.
Hermanus - Whale Capital of the World
Hermanus - popular seaside resort at South Africa's Overberg coast in the Western Cape Province. The town calls itself the Whale Capital of the World. Every year between July and November hundreds of Southern Right Whales come to the calm waters of Walker Bay for breeding. The Whale Crier of Hermanus blows his kelp horn, when whales have been sighted. Then everybody looks out onto the sea then. What makes Hermanus so special: The marine mammals come within a few metres of the cliffs and can be watched at close range. Only if the waters are calm though. When the sea is rough the whales stay far away from the coast. A 15 kilometre long cliff path runs along the rocky shores of Hermanus - with many well placed lookout points. Beautiful beaches lie in the east of Hermanus.
Some kilometres further east along the Walker Bay is the small holiday village of De Kelders, also a preferred spot for whale watchers. The whales come very close to the cliffs here. Viewers who climb onto the rocks can almost touch the whales.

Cape Town Day 1 - Driving to Hermanus [Vlog #26]
Thanks so much for watching, if you missed the last vlog, you can watch it here:
Dec 23rd 2014
In this vlog, we had our last morning safari before heading out to Capetown. It was a short flight which I was really happy about and then we rented a car to drive down to Hermanus. Mateen took a different route which was BREATHTAKING! I mean I just can't get over how beautiful the drive was. I have some GoPro footage which I forgot to add to the vlog but maybe I'll show it some other time. It's definitely a MUST SEE! We got to our hotel which was a small Lodge called Whale Rock Lodge which was BEAUTIFUL! We both cleaned up and headed out to dinner at a restaurant called Burgundy right by the ocean and the wind and the waves were so calming. I loved everything about that day! CapeTown is BEAUTIFUL :)
Lots of Love,
Hira
