Private Hermanus Whale & Wine tour

On the Private Hermanus Whale and Wine tour we go searching along our coastline to view the Southern Right Whales that frequent our waters each year after their journey from Antarctica. The town of Hermanus has the best land-based whale watching in the world and it is here that we will spend time walking along the cliff paths overlooking Walker Bay, viewing these giants of the Southern Ocean.

Lunch (own account) can either be enjoyed in Hermanus or one of the amazing restaurants in the nearby Hemel en Aarde (Heaven on Earth) valley which we visit to enjoy a tasting of their highly acclaimed cool climate wines and amazing views.

Please Note: We offer this tour year round as the route is still wonderful to experience and the region has so much more to offer such as its fantastic cool climate wines and majestic coastal views.

We scheduled two full day tours with African Blue - to Cape Peninsula and Hermanus. We were lucky enough to have Duncan for both days. He was so fantastic - super knowledgeable and fun. We made the mistake of a booking a different tour company for one of our earlier tours. Couldn’t believe the difference in quality! Can’t recommend African Blue enough, especially Duncan!

“Fantastic Day Trips”

We booked two private day trips with African Blue – . It was our first time in Africa and we didn’t quite know what to expect! The first day we went around the Cape Peninsula The second day we went to Hermanus- a boat trip is a must- we went in August and although they don’t promise anything, I think you are pretty much guaranteed to get close to the whales. On the way back we asked if we could squeeze in a stop at Betty’s Bay penguin colony. We preferred it to Boulders Beach. I can’t recommend Blue Africa Tours enough.

We travelled to Cape Town as my husband wanted to see Great White sharks. David arranged a Shark Dive Tour combined with a private tour to Hermanus to view the magnificent sight of Whales gracefully swimming by from the cliff tops. This was a fabulous day and the memories will stay with us for ever. We also did a private Cape Peninsula tour with David which again was a wonderful experience . This tour has everything, penguins, seals, cape point and spectacular scenery.Will be returning to South Africa. I read lots of reviews as they really do help but very rarely write them. Thank you David

We did three days of private touring with Africa Blue in June of 2018. I’m so glad we picked this tour operator. I was traveling with my two adult daughters and our guide made the trip so much fun. We went to wineries, we drove to the coast, we toured the city. It was just perfect. I highly recommend this company and you can feel very comfortable booking with them.
