Hermanus.

Hermanus is widely regarded as one of the best land-based whale watching destinations on Earth, where southern right whales come astonishingly close to shore to calve in the sheltered waters of Walker Bay. Visitors can watch these gentle giants from the cliffside path right in town, often without needing to board a boat at all. Beyond the whales, Hermanus offers charming harbourside dining, scenic coastal walks, and easy access to the surrounding Overberg wine farms.
