Description

Welcome to Hermanus Whale Cruises, your gateway to unforgettable marine adventures on the South African Whale Coast. As we set sail, immerse yourself in the majesty of the ocean and its incredible inhabitants. With our spacious vessel capable of accommodating up to 87 passengers and a dedicated crew of 5, we offer a unique way to explore the wonders of the deep.

Two Decks, Endless Views

Our vessel boasts two distinctive decks, each offering a unique perspective on the coastal splendor. The top deck provides an open-air experience, perfect for soaking in the sun and unobstructed vistas. On the lower deck, semi-enclosed comfort ensures you stay snug while taking in the panoramic sights.
