Hermanus has the status of being the best land-based whale watching destination in the world. Southern right whales visit Walker Bay from June through to December. Hermanus is home to the world’s only Whale Crier who blows his kelp horn when whales are spotted along the central sea route.
This was the third backpackers that we had stayed and probably the best for what we wanted. Hermanus and the surrounding area is very picturesque.
Hermanus is also well known for cage diving to see the great white shark. When I booked the backpackers they offered to book our shark diving trip, I declined!
Whilst chatting over breakfast we met Annette from Surrey who was at a loose end. Her boyfriend was shark diving for the morning (it transpired that a shark poked its nose through his cage - he was ecstatic) so said 'would you like to come geocaching?'. She came along and found her first geocache - unfortunately it was full of sea-water because a rodent had nibbled the container.

The backpackers had one dog three cats and two kittens all of which had plenty of people to play with. One of the kittens clawed its way up my back at breakfast, a painful experience.
