Holidays to the Cape Whale Coast
The Cape Whale Coast is just two hours drive from Cape Town and is centred on the gorgeous, little sleepy town of Hermanus. Holidays to the Cape Whale Coast promise the best land-based whale watching in the world, visit between June to December to observe the magnificent Southern Right and Humpback Whales, who visit this coastline to calve in the sheltered sea of Walker Bay.
Hermanus retains its historical fisherman's village heritage and a number of craft markets sell a range of interesting wares perfect for souvenirs of your Cape Whale Coast holiday.
