Whale Watching

The southern right whale migrate south during the summer months when supplies of krill are more prolific, and north during winter and spring to mate, calve and rear their young. They appear around the South African coastline from May to December. They can be seen interacting in the sheltered bays and coves close inshore and near river mouths.

WHALE WATCHING TIPS
* You can spot whales by looking for white patches in the ocean where the waves break on their bodies.
* Whales are along our coastline during the months of May to December, so come see them at the right time of year!
* Be patient – Seeing your first whale is an experience you will never forget.
* Whales can be seen from land, but there are also many boat-based tours available. If you get seasick, take medication or get a patch – it helps!
