Good sites for whale watching
are found on the Atlantic coast off Postberg Nature Reserve
on the West Coast, the western side of False Bay, De Hoop
and De Mond Nature Reserves and most famously, Hermanus on
the south coast. Indeed, the marine reserve of Walker Bay,
which Hermanus overlooks, has been recognised by the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF) as one of the world's top twelve whale-watching
sites.
The seabirding pelagic trips are an excellent place to see
not only the more common coastal species, but also offer a
chance of the more elusive deep sea specials.
