"We will fulfill your expectations"
With enough heart-pumping activities, from abseiling to paragliding, as well as more relaxed outings to beaches, vineyards and museums, Cape Town easily fills an extended visit. But many, if not most, visitors venture much further east, out along the Garden Route, whose enticements include some of the best land-based whale-watching in the world, crashing seascapes, dappled forests and, at its culmination, lions and elephants in the best game reserve in the southern half of the country. The Rough Guide to Cape Town and the Garden Route is the definitive guide to Cape Town, its stunning environs (including Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Winelands and the Whale Coast) and the Garden Route all the way to Port Elizabeth and the Addo Elephant National Park.

Hermanus Travel Information
|
The distance from Cape Town to Hermanus is 105 kilometers.
Known as the heart of the whale route, the seaside resort of Hermanus in Walker Bay offers the best land based whale watching in the world. A cliff path stretching from the one side of the town to the other, hugs the coastline for about 12 km giving whale watchers unlimited opportunities to study and get within 20 m of the gentle giants in the coves below or lolling just beyond the breakers. Telescopes situated alongside the Old
Harbor Museum makes it possible to survey the entire Walker Bay and the whales and dolphins at close range.
The only Whale Crier in the world is not only a major attraction but keeps visitors informed as to the whereabouts of the whales as he does his rounds through town every day. The sound of his kelp horn has become a characteristic of the charm of this seaside resort during the whale season.
The whales seen most frequently along the Overberg coastal areas are the Southern Right whales, that have been protected internationally since 1935, but other species do make an appearance occasionally. Southern Right whales can be distinguished from other whales from its V-shaped 'blow' and the callosities which appear around its head. They start arriving in May in order to calf in the shallow water, to raise their young or to mate. Peak times for seeing whales daily is from August to November, tailing off in December. Bryde's whales live year-round on the continental shelf.
This gorgeous seaside town has a proud history dating back to the early 1800's when a man by the name of Hermanus
Pieter's followed a path etched into the ground by a herd of elephants.
He was a teacher and Shepard he traveled south of Caledon along the elephant trail and ended up next to the sea where he discovered a fresh spring.
Hermanus Pieter's decided to set up camps next to a spring with fine grazing for his livestock. This beautiful setting became known as Hermanuspietersfontein. As farmers begun to hear of his success they made their journeys to this new and fertile location. The fish was plentiful and the fishermen had great successes.
A church and school were built in 1886 at Hermanuspietersfontein.
1902 the postmaster's complained of the long name, Hermanuspietersfontein became Hermanus. The town was so filled with fresh sea air that it was common for doctors to recommend a trip to Hermanus for their patient's health.
Walker Bay is the place you will find Hermanus near the Southern Tip of Africa.
Magnificent mountains watch over the town which is home of the Southern Right Whale.
Temperature is average 14º C in winter with many sunny days, and mild with high winds at times.
Temperature in summer is 26º C dry and sunny, with extreme heat tempered by sea breeze. Hermanus is one of the best whale watching spots in South Africa, with its own Whale Crier - he announces the sighting of whales with a blow of his kelp horn, calling everyone in the town to come watch the whales.
The Old Harbor Museum is a landmark of the town, which has an outside display of an old sea wall, old fishing boats - stone fishing huts. They display anything used for fishing in the early days. In the Hemel & Aarde Valley - outside Hermanus you can visit the Hermanus Wine Route. This area is fast making a name for itself for its magnificent Burgundy varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
