Whale Watching in Gansbaai – Western Cape – South Africa

6 Southern Right Whales with calves where spotted in Gansbaai on 16 January 2009. According to Soné Boshoff from Dyer Island Cruises & Marine Dynamics this is the first time in the last 7 seasons that the Southern Right Whales are still in the area at this time of the year!

Dyer Island Cruises operates from Gansbaai, near Hermanus in the Western Cape, South Africa. We offer exciting and informative eco-tours around Dyer Island all year (excluding May), and between July and December we combine the Island experience with boat- based whale watching. Our whale watching trips are considered not just magical but rewarding too, and are sure to capture everyone’s imagination. We can guarantee Southern right whale sightings between July and December. We also operate great white shark cage diving tours with Marine Dynamics. Join our team to experience both the whales and the sharks that have made Dyer Island world famous.

Grab your family or friends and venture to this arty and fun festival which claims to be the ONLY Enviro-Arts Festival in South Africa.Food, flirting & frolicking in the friendly bayThe stars of the show are the great citizens of the deep who swim thousands of miles from Antarctica to flirt, frolic and procreate in the friendly bay.

Joining them are thousands of visitors on their annual pilgrimage - foodies, party animals, arty farties, bunny huggers and anyone who simply loves a good time mixed up with a bit of spring madness and magic.Food is BIG at this festival, with chefs flying in from all over the country, gourmet competitions, a bounty of local seafood and restaurants pulling out all the stops.

Afterwards you can work off those leviathan love handles by taking part in the world’s only Welcome Whales Wave and then get down to live music, comedy, cabaret and African rhythms after dark.
