Enjoy a half-day guided Whale watching cruise along the coast of Hermanus. The cruise duration is approximately 2-2.5hrs visiting the features of Gansbaai which make this area unique. You will pass Dyer Island, one of the most renowned birding areas and home to the endangered African Penguin. The cruise also offers the opportunity to view the 60,000 strong Cape Fur Seal colony at Geyser Rock and cruise through the famous Shark Alley. For birders, sightings of Albatross, Cormorants, Petrels, Shearwaters and gannets are common. Bryde's whales can be seen throughout the year, and Humpback Whales during their migration to and from the tropics in early June and late December. Three species of Dolphin can also be spotted throughout the year.
Marine Dynamics Whale and Marine Big Five Tour operates around the world-famous Dyer Island where you might be fortunate enough to see the Marine Big 5: Southern Right/Humpback/Bryde's Whales, sharks around the renowned Shark Alley, Cape Fur Seals, the endangered African Penguin and various dolphin species. The area is also home to a variety of seabirds.
We offer our Marine Big 5 tours year-round. Southern Right Whales as well as Humpback Whales typically visit the South African coastline from June to November, though their arrival and departure may vary slightly, as wildlife movements can be unpredictable. Throughout the year, we have the opportunity to observe our resident Bryde's Whales, which can be spotted from January – December. We do work with wild life and nature, so we can’t guarantee any sightings. We also have an on-board marine biologist and experienced crew who promise a life-changing experience.
Pick-up from hotels, guesthouses, backpackers, vacation rentals, AirBnB's and any other points within Hermanus. Please confirm your pickup address and we will let you know if it is possible. Please note that the tour departure time you select is not your pick-up time, but the actual time the boat leaves.
