I loved this day out. Our private driver was excellent and full of knowledge. He drove us to see penguins at Stony Beach and then onto Hermanus to see 6 whales (its end of the season now as well) and then to a lovely wine Estate called Benguela Cove where we did some wine tasting and had a charcuterie board.

Great driver (Pedro), saw lots of whales despite being at the end of the season. The tour company were helpful and were flexible to arrangements

The private driver, Charleton, drove us to Hermanus and told us stories of cape town and surrounding area the entire time! He was very friendly. The boat tour was exceptional, was up close to hundreds of dolphins and about 5 whales!

Wonderful experience at Benguela Cove winery - we went here early before any crowds arrived and the tranquility. Enjoyed a short walking tour Hermanus before heading to the harbour to catch our boat to go out and see the whales - lucky to see multiple southern right mother & calves. Our guide Morne was knowledgeable and helped us capture some great photos of the day!

The trip got canceled by the operator.
We never got a respond for the refund. Do NOT book this unless you are 100% sure of a sunny day!

Incredible day of whales. The weather was perfect and we saw breaching and mothers and babies playing, lots of playing! We had lunch at a great place down on the beach/rocks in town but you need to walk down stairs for that one! Our guide Roland was very informative and fun. We ended up the day tasting some very nice wines. Worth the drive!

Everything went well except for one thing. We were picked up on time and were surprised that we were the only travelers. The guide even let us stop along the way for some coffee and pastry. We arrived at the boat launch and with almost no delay, we were able to board the boat. Plenty of whale sightings but nothing more. Following the boat ride, we went to a magnificent winery and were treated very well with our guide guiding us all the way. The only disappointment was that the trip promised a penguin sighting and we were told only when we asked that the penguin site was closed. Apparently the closing happened only within the past week, but I thought we should have been told that at the onset and that a substitution would be offered, but that did not happen. Our guide was great, as he gave us background info along the way and did everything he could to make our tour pleasant.

The Southern Right Whales were the best experience. A few fur seals were also seen but sea birds were scarce that day. Visiting a country where I saw many classic land mammals, I felt it was important not to miss one of the most amazing marine mammals. I hope they thrive forever.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide, James. He was very flexible and accommodating with our requests and went above and beyond educating us on local history and culture during the drive. The whale watching charter (Southern Right) was awesome and we saw lots of whales! The winery we stopped at on the way back to Cape Town (Benguela Cove) was STUNNING. 10/10 experience. Thank you!
