Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Forbered dig på en tidlig morgen afhentning ved din bolig i Cape Town kl. 6:30, da vi tager af sted til vores delte bådtur på Hermanus Whale Watching. Køretiden er cirka 1 time og 30 minutter til Hermanus fra Cape Town.
Ved vores ankomst til New Harbor i Hermanus vil gæsterne blive orienteret om disse havkæmper af en erfaren kvalificeret hvalsafari. Gæsterne går ombord på en moderne delt båd med toiletfaciliteter og tager på en 2 til 3-timers havudflugt. Så snart en hval er set, vil skipperen stoppe båden, så alle kan se disse fantastiske havdyr tæt på. Som tiden går, vil skipperen og besætningsmedlemmer forsøge at få øje på flere hvaler for at maksimere en fuld hvalsafari-oplevelse. Efter bådturen vender gæsterne tilbage til den nye havn.
Efter bådturen er du velkommen til at stoppe til frokost (egen regning) på en af de mange restauranter ved havet eller du kan vælge frokost i Hermanus Winelands kendt som Hemel-en-Aarde (Himmel og Jord) til frokost og / eller vinsmagning. Vi anbefaler Benguela Cove Wine Estate.
Besøg Stony Point Penguins Colony beliggende i Bettys Bay på vej tilbage til Cape Town. Stony Point er en af de største afrikanske pingvinkolonier i Sydafrika. Drag fordel af tætte møder med en eller to af disse fortryllende skabninger.
Vi rejser tilbage til Cape Town langs den naturskønne kystlinje R44 med spektakulær udsigt over Atlanterhavskysten. Drop off vil være på dit ophold i Cape Town efter turen. Varigheden er ca. 1 time, 30 minutter.

Picked up by Fiston we headed to Herman’s for a 12 noon boat. We drive straight there with Fiston pointing out spots and providing details to the areas we pass through. Upon arrival we get a safety briefing then we’re out on the sea. We are lucky enough to spot Southern Right Whales whilst out, we get lots of photos (none will be gracing the National Geographic) but it’s more about the experience of seeing these magnificent animals. Once we get off the boat we spend over an hour in Hermanus ( this turned into a private trip and Fiston was very accommodating as we did not want to see another vineyard or visit Stoney Point again), we had lunch at Burgundy and then a walk around Hermanus. This is a lovely town and well worth spending time in. After this it’s straight back to the hotel. I would like to take the opportunity to thank and praise Fiston for helping to make a fantastic trip. He was so helpful and is a great ambassador for your company. Many Thanks, Jim & Anya
Dear Jim & Anya, 🐋 What a fantastic recap—thank you! We’re thrilled you spotted Southern Right Whales and enjoyed flexible, private-style time in Hermanus (great choice with Burgundy!). Huge kudos to Fiston for the smooth drive, local insights, and thoughtful adjustments—he’ll be proud. When you’re back, consider Franschhoek & Stellenbosch Winelands, Cape of Good Hope & Penguins, or a private Cape Town tour—hotel pickup, small groups, expert local guides. Kind regards, Evelyn Ntombela Guest Relations Manager — Beyond Africa Safaris (Cape Town)

Seas were rough but definately saw Wright Whales. Followed up with a great lunch at a great winery. Well done.

Warm regards, Beyond Africa Safaris Team #HermanusWhaleWatching #CapeWinelandsTours #WhaleWatchingSouthAfrica #BeyondAfricaSafaris
The day before our private whale watching tour, Amy from Beyond Africa Safaris emailed that the tour was cancelled due to bad weather. We totally understood, as there were rough sea warnings and days of hard rain. We were leaving the following day, so sadly missed the whales and couldn't reschedule. She assured me in writing that my $850 payment would be refunded. It's been 5 weeks now, and no refund, despite numerous assuring emails. In a strange twist, instead of refunding my money, a new bizarre invoice was sent to me to pay them an additional sum of money. Multiple emails about the bad invoice (and my refund) have since gone unanswered and my refund is still outstanding.
Dear Nancy, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you have experienced. We can confirm that the full amount you paid for the tour was refunded to you via PayPal after you initiated a chargeback. Please note that Beyond Africa Safaris did not send an additional invoice. Any communication regarding charges could be related to bank fees associated with the PayPal transaction, which we tried to inform you about. The cancellation of the whale watching tour was due entirely to weather conditions, a decision made by the operators, Southern Right Charters, for the safety of all guests. If you have any further questions or need proof of the refund, please feel free to contact us directly. We are here to assist you and ensure this matter is fully resolved. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Best regards, Pinky Ntombela Marketing Manager Beyond Africa Safaris
The trip was a little more expensive than the other companies, but my, what a bonus. Picked up at hotel, private car. Whale watch and lunch at this fabulous place right down on the rocks with the ocean waves 10 ft. away. Could see whales right from our table. ( restaurant = The Cave) Then a stop at Stony Point for, off the tourist route, penguins.! Then ride home was different and saw more of the peninsula. Fabulous, and well worth the extra money.
Good day Valued Client We appreciate the fantastic review of this whale watching tour experience, and are glad we could be of service and that the views and whale spotting was fantastic including the lunch spot.
John our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very kind. We saw lots of whales and seals for our boat trip. John also took us to see the penguins and he was also very accommodating when we want to eat somewhere else other than the ones the vineyard offered. Overall, my husband and I had a very pleasant and enjoyable trip.
Good day Valued Client Thank you for visiting us again and sharing this valuable feedback.We wish you all the best with your travels and cant wait to have you back in Cape Town
If you are expecting a relaxing anchor off the rocks with a cocktail in hand watching the whales surface at their leisure, think again, the tour I was included on literally chased down every whale or whale spray in the distance, it’s pure exploiting of the wildlife…two of the occupants of the bot were sea sick and vomiting overboard . The snacks and drinks are literally a bag of lays and a Pepsi. Rather stay on the rocks and a wood the boats . Better views , more whales, less vomit .
Good day Valued Client Thank you for the review of this tour.When going for whale watching people getting motion sickness is way out of our control and even the company rendering the service as this can happen to people at the least expected time.The route they take is also beyond our control they are well educated and aware where to find the whales while still protecting you.We do want to apologise that this tour had not met your expectations. All the best with your travels Kind Regards
That a very worthy trip. Kelly, our guide, was extremely kind, and explained several aspects about the travel and Cape Town. We could see the whales, have a great ime at Hermanus, the winery tasting was amazing and we enjoyed with the pinguins visit. Moreover, landscaping of the trip is great!
Good day Valued Client Thank you for the review of this tour.We are delighted that you had the most memorable time while doing whale watching.We wish you all the best with your future travels.
Fantastic trip! Djiby was a great guide and we enjoyed our day. Beautiful drive and we lucked out with some great whale views.
Good day Valued Client We’re thrilled you had such a great time at Hermanus Whale Watching.We hope to have you back soon!
Holy moly what an amazing experience! Hermanus is known for their whale sightings and this tour did not disappoint! Jean-Nepo was our guide and he was so thoughtful and so considerate. I actually had an issue trying contact another tour company and he tried to get in touch with them using his own phone bc mine only worked on wifi! We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel! We had waters and got to see whales and experience two amazing wineries!
Good day Valued Client Thank you so much for your five-star review. We are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with us at Whale watching.All the best
