Sightseeing
This is one of the most popular places from which to view the southern right whales in Walker Bay that migrate to Hermanus each year between the months of June to December. You can also spot the little dassies (small rock hyrax) and enjoy outdoor sculptures and works of art here.

Walking along the cliff paths in Hermanus is a great way to enjoy the views and spot some whales. The walk has information boards along the way about local fauna and flora, and interesting vegetation. There are benches along the way so you can rest and enjoy the fresh air!

This is one of the most beautiful places to hike in Hermanus. The sea and Mountain View’s from up here are spectacular and the fynbos (local vegetation) and bird life will amaze you. When you enter the reserve go slow and you might see tortoises too!

One of my favorite places in Hermanus. There is a safe place to swim or body board, or just sit and watch the surfers, the birds, the people or the whales! If you’re lucky the coffee guy will be there to enjoy a cuppa. Nice patch of grass to have a picnic too.
