Why a walking tour works in Hermanus
Walker Bay's geology brings the seabed close to the cliffs — meaning Southern Right Whales rest and play just metres from where you'll be standing. You'll also pass the Old Harbour, the Whale Museum and several interpretive lookouts.
Perfect alternative when seas are rough
Safety always comes first. If your boat trip is cancelled due to unsafe weather, the guided walking tour is a great way to still get close to the whales.
