It's whale time in the Western Cape! (June - December) the Southern Right Whales migrate to the coastal waters of South Africa, with in excess of 100 whales known to be in the Hermanus area. Whilst in the area, the whales can be seen with their young as they come to Walker Bay to calf and mate. Many behaviors such as breaching, sailing, lobtailing, or spyhopping can be witnessed. In False Bay Southern Right Whales can be seen from the shore from July to October. Plettenberg Bay is also home to the Southern Right Whale from July to December. They can be viewed from land as well as by boat with licenced operators conducting ocean safaris throughout the year.
