Pick-up will be from your accommodation in Cape Town. You will receive your exact pick-up time the day before the tour, so please be prepared for an early start between 6:00 and 6:30 AM. We will drive along the N2 national road for roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the town of Hermanus.
Upon arriving at New Harbour, guests receive a briefing from a Whale Specialist outlining the boat trip. We then set sail to the whale locations, with the crew ensuring up-close encounters and great photo opportunities. You might see Southern Right Whales, the size of 10 elephants, and possibly Bronze, Humpback, and Bryde's Whales. Dolphins might also be seen, though sightings aren't guaranteed due to their wild nature. The 2-3 hour tour depends on weather and nature.
We take a short drive, roughly 6 minutes, to Fusion Restaurant, where you can savor a light lunch with options including seafood, meat, poultry, vegetarian, and vegan dishes, all while enjoying beautiful beachfront views.
