Whale (tail) watching

Whale watching along the South African coast line usually takes place between April and November, so this time of year the whales start heading down south to Antarctic waters again.  You don’t have to go on a boat to see the whale though with stunning land based whale watching possible especially around the Cape and in particular the Hermanus area.  Plettenberg Bay is another of the bays that the whales visit and this very interesting bench can be found at one of the lookouts in the town.
