Discover Hermanus

Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.

Hermanus, is a town on the southern coast of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is known for Southern Right whale watching during the southern winter to spring seasons, and is a popular retirement location.

Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Hermanus is known for its stunning natural beauty and its reputation as one of the best whale-watching spots in the world. From June to November, you can spot Southern Right whales frolicking in the waters just off the coast, often coming so close to shore that you can see them from the town's famous cliff path.

But there's more to Hermanus than just whale-watching. The town has a vibrant arts scene, with galleries showcasing the work of local artists and regular markets selling artisanal goods. You can also explore the unique fynbos vegetation on a hike through Fernkloof Nature Reserve, or simply relax on one of the town's many beaches.
