Whales & Wine

The whale season is here and it's the ideal opportunity to experience the best land-based Southern Right whale-watching on earth at Hermanus, just over an hour out of Cape Town.

For those wanting to get even closer to these gigantic creatures, three times the weight of an African elephant, can take an exciting boat trip from the harbour. Wine-tasting in the Hemel en Aarde Valley, together with food and wine pairing is optional at no extra charge. Hermanus is renowned for it's pinot noir wines but there are a large variety of wines to choose from. Non-drinkers can opt for a shopping opportunity or a tour of an abalone farm. So this is a very flexible tour?!
