Our Whale Route Map shows the best places to stay when visiting Hermanus on the Garden Route of South Africa.
Running from Cape Town to Gansbaai, the Whale Route is also known as the Overberg. From June to November Southern Right Whales visit the shores to give birth and mate! The area is well known for offering some of the best land based whale watching in the world. The pretty seaside town of Hermanus is easily accessible from Cape Town and can even be visited as a day trip.
