Visit Hermanus

About Hermanus

Hermanus, perched along Walker Bay in the Western Cape’s Overberg region, is globally renowned for its land-based whale watching. Located just 115km southeast of Cape Town, this former fishing village has evolved into a sophisticated coastal retreat with dramatic cliff vistas.

Between June and November, southern right whales breach mere metres from shore, while year-round the town charms visitors with its fynbos-covered hills, world-class wines and 12km cliff-path walkway.
