Situated between Hermanus and Gansbaai, Grootbos Private Reserve is nestled between a mountainous landscape and the ocean. Its elevation affords spectacular views of Walker Bay and the ocean. Hermanus and Gansbaai are considered to be one of the world's best places for whale watching, either from land or sea. Some 2000 southern right whale migrate from the Antarctic to the warmer waters here in mid June to mate, calve and rear their young.

Did you know: A baby whale measures about 6 m in length at birth and drinks up to 600 litres of mother milk per day - a fully grown right whale can grow to 17 m long and weigh up to 90 tons.

Guided drives or walks allowing guests to become better acquainted with the region’s flora and fauna, and rides and excursions to the sea are included.

Whale watching is possible from land or sea from June/July well into November, either from Hermanus (thirty-minute drive) or from Gansbaai (ten-minute drive).

Sea Excursions take place from Gaansbai the whole year. The tour heads to Dyer Island, where some 8000 African penguins and up to 120’000 cormorants choose to live. Located right next door is Geyser Rock, home to around 60’000 seals and their merciless predator, the great white shark, which hunts its prey in the aptly named Shark Alley. During the whale seasons, whales are usually present in large numbers too.
