Whale watching trip to Hermanus – 30 October
Join us on a trip to Hermanus to spot these gentle giants on their annual visit to our waters.
Noel Ashton, specialist cetacean illustrator and lecturer, will start our tour off with a fascinating show at the Whale Museum.
The tour continues by bus to Kwaaiwater, where we will walk along the beautiful coastal cliff paths and will hopefully spot a number of whales along the way. The walk is 6km long and takes approximately 2.5 hours.
The tour ends at the Old Harbour, where you can spend the rest of the day taking in the sights of Hermanus. Bring along a picnic lunch, pop into a fast food outlet, or relax at one of the many restaurants in this picturesque coastal town.
The day costs R160 (adults) or R100 (children between 4 and 17) and includes transport, entrance to the Whale Museum and the guided walk.
The day starts at 08h00 and ends at 17h00. We can accommodate only 60 Solemates, so be sure to book! Bookings open on 1 October and close on 25 October.
