From the cliffs of Sievers Point in Hermanus, the Southern right whales put on a quiet but powerful display. A dark back breaks the surface, a great flipper rises from the water, and a sudden blast of breath drifts above the waves.
Even a pod of dolphins also passing by
For a few unforgettable moments, these gentle giants bring the wild beauty of Walker Bay right to the edge of the famous Hermanus coastline.
From the cliffs of Hermanus, the ocean is never still. Each scan across Walker Bay reveals another moment in the wild world below — the graceful lift of a Southern Right whale’s tail, a curious head rising above the waves, and the powerful splash of a whale disappearing once more into the deep.
But the lookout extends beyond the ocean. Among the coastal grasses, a small bird pauses quietly, while on the sun-warmed rocks a lizard clings to its ancient home.
From the cliffs, Hermanus becomes a living theatre — where sea, sky and land meet, and every patient observer may witness a new story unfolding.
