Thinking of coming to the Cape to watch the whales? The best time to visit is between July and December, so now is the time to book.
Why now?
They come here on purpose. Southern right whales travel thousands of kilometres from the icy waters near Antarctica to the warm, sheltered bays of the Cape to mate, give birth, and nurse their calves.
They come close. Sometimes they are just metres from shore, so you can watch giants breach, tail-slap, and spy-hop against the mountains.
It's calving season. Seeing a newborn calf stay close to its mother is a moment you will never forget.
It's not only right whales. Humpbacks and Bryde's whales are often spotted too, along with dolphins and seals.
The setting is unreal. Dramatic coastline, fynbos-covered mountains, and cold blue water make every photo look like a postcard.
Whale season doesn't last forever, and the best tours and accommodation fill up fast. Book now and join us for a front-row seat to one of nature's greatest shows.
