Full-day guided tour from Cape Town to Hermanus, featuring shore-based whale watching (in season), Hemel en Aarde Valley wine tasting or visit to Stony Point Penguin Colony, and return transfers. Operates July-November.
This circular full-day tour departs from Cape Town and takes guests over a scenic mountain pass to the seaside town of Hermanus, renowned for its beautiful setting between mountains and the sea, and its exceptional shore-based whale watching opportunities (August – November). Likely sightings of Southern Right whales are a highlight. The journey continues into the Hemel en Aarde Valley for wine tasting at Bouchard Finlayson Wine Estate (Wednesday & Friday only). On Sundays, instead of the winery, the tour includes a visit (time permitting) to the Stony Point Penguin Colony for a unique encounter with African penguins, before returning to Cape Town in the afternoon. All departures are with an English-speaking guide, and return transfers from Cape Town City Centre hotels are included. Minimum 2 guests required. Tour operates only July – November, on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, from 08:00 to 17:30 (9.5 hours). Whale sightings cannot be guaranteed. Lunch and boat-based whale watching are not included.
