Activities
Hermanus is filled with fun activities for the whole family from water-sport to nature-walks. Fun morning markets for the whole family to enjoy, annual events that bring people from all over to our little village in the South. No matter the time of the year there is never a dull moment here.
Whale Watching Cruises
Experience a close encounter with the gentle giants of the ocean by joining us on an informative and educational whale watching trip.
The peak whale season runs from June to mid – December, annually. The exact date all depends on when the star performers arrive and depart. The boat-based whale watching trip is from 1hr 30m – 3hrs maximum.
We depart daily at 9h00; 12h00 and 15h00 from the New Harbour in Hermanus.
Shark Cage Diving
The shark cage diving boat trip starts between 7h00 and 12h00 in the morning from Kleinbaai harbour, which is 2 km along the coast from the village of Gansbaai in South Africa.
Times may vary due to the tides and expected sea conditions. The round boat trip to and from the harbour normally takes 3 to 4 hours. Sharks are seen on 99.9% of our trips!
We recommend that you book well in advance and allow at least 2 days for diving in case of adverse weather conditions.
Sea Kayaking
Explore the magic of our unique coastline with its abundant marine life up close and personal in one of our stable kayaks in the company of an experienced guide.
Glide across sparkling water while enjoying a view of the majestic mountain, sea cliffs and marine life.

Ocean Quest is a 36ft Catamaran that is based in Hermanus in the New Harbour.
It is operated by professional, licensed skippers for both boating and Scuba diving.
