After the briefing, we set sail to the Whale location at sea. The crew members and the skipper will ensure up-close encounters and brilliant photo opportunities for guests to marvel at. It is said that the Southern Right Whale is the size of 10 elephants! On this boat trip, guests may encounter the Southern Right Whale, Bronze Whale, Humpback Whale, and the Bryde's Whale.

Thank you Kabura Travel for organising this memorable trip for my wife birthday.
The experience was extremely amazing to see very closely hundreds of Whales, dolphins, Penguins from the boat you organised for us. The crew members were very knowledgeable and our tour guide Joseph was outstanding. We highly recommend this activity and will recommend your company to our families.

Ein Traum von einem Tag

Es fing mit einer perfekten getimten Abholung vom Hotel los. Unser Chauffeur für diesen Tag war Gavin, ein smarter Gentlemen wie er im Buche steht. Er ist sehr auf uns eingegangen, hat uns den Tagesablauf genau erläutert und uns das Gefühl von absoluter Vertrautheit und Sicherheit gegeben. Nachdem er uns sicher zum Boot gebracht hat, hatten wir eine super Tour mit Blick auf die Wale, es war genügend Zeit um ausgiebig diese Riesen der Meere zu beobachten-ca. 2 Stunden insgesamt auf dem Boot. Danach ist Gavin mit uns direkt nach Hermanus an den Strand gefahren und hat uns ca. 40min Zeit gelassen um eine kleine Runde zu drehen, dann ging es zu einer Pinguin Kolonie (nicht Boulders Beach) und dort hat sich die Zeit genommen diese mit uns zu gemeinsam zu besuchen und uns vieles noch erklärt. Danach sind wir zum Lunch zu einem wundervoll gelegenem Weingut gefahren. Gavin hat sich um uns gekümmert und uns dem Team vom Restaurant als seine Gäste vorgestellt, sich dann elegant zurück gezogen und uns unser Lunch genießen lassen. Für uns war es selbstverständlich, dass wir ihm auch ein Lunch bestellen lassen. danach ging es zurück ins Hotel. Der Ausflug ging über den ganzen Tag und selbst als wir im Auto eingeschlafen sind, hat Gavin uns sehr sanft geweckt, wenn es etwas spannendes zu sehen gab. Es war ein Traum Tag. Vielen lieben Dank. Wir können diesen Ausflug nur Empfehlen und besonders unseren Chauffeur Gavin.

We have had a great day on the Hermanus Whale Watching Boat Trip with David as our guide.
The tour was well organized. The communication in advance about pick-up time, etc. was very pleasant. We were picked up on time and brought to the boat in Hermanus. What a great experience! We saw a whale with young very close by.
After the boat trip, our guide had arranged a stop at Estate Benguela Cove. What a beautiful location, nice lunch and nice wine tasting!
Our guide was kind and friendly and had a lot of knownledge about Cape Town, history and the surrounding area. He was able to answer all our questions very well.
Thank you for the great day!
