The main tourist attraction in Hermanus is however the whales.
From June through to the end of November Walker bay is
a hive of activity as the Southern Right whales come
into the bay to calf and mate.
With the many vantage points around the bay visitors
cannot miss the whales which come close in shore.
During the season a whale crier is employed to spot the whales and advise
tourists t where the best vantage points are.
During the whale season it is often extremely difficult to get into the
town due to the many cars blocking the roads in Hermanus.
Even with these difficulties the town is worth a visit .
I have found some excellent accommodation for those wanting to wake up close to the whales or spend some time in Hermanus. Read all about them below.
