However, the seaside resort of Hermanus in Walker Bay offers the best
whale viewing from land in the world and is only an hour and a quarter
drive from Gordon's Bay.
A cliff path stretching from one side of the town to the other runs alongside the coastline for about 12 km giving tourists unlimited opportunities to stand within 20 metres of whales in the coves below or just beyond the breakers. The whale seen most frequently in the Walker Bay area is the Southern Right Whale, but other species do make an appearance occasionally.
The whales start arriving in July in order to calve and to mate in the
shallow water. Peak time for whales at any one time is October, but many
can still be seen in November, tailing off in December.
Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year,
while Bryde's whales are found slightly further offshore all year round.
