Where the two oceans meet on the southern tip of Africa, you will find many cultures that only the Western Cape can offer. Here you can watch whales both from land and from the sea.
Every year, southern whales move through the waters during mass migration. Here you can witness the fatherland and the feeding of your joyful and playful young people.

The best time to witness this event is from June to November. You can also see other beautiful whales in the Western Cape. Humpback whales migrate in the same area between May and December, and Bryde whales can be seen a little further on the shelf throughout the year.
