Once a lookout point to watch for fishermen sailing into the harbour, Gearing’s Point is now one of the must-see spots in Hermanus for its incredible whale-watching opportunities. Elevated above the harbour, this viewing point allows a wider view of the ocean (and for those with not-such-fabulous vision, there is a telescope available). There are benches and patches of grass for onlookers to rest on while they await the gentle giants.

여행 전에 기억할 점
Whale watching cruises
Good to book a boat based whale watching trip before your visit as these trips are popular and often fully booked before your arrival. Especially between September and October.
These trips are very weather (wind) dependent so its a good idea to book it closer to the start of your stay, then its easier to reschedule if need be.
Be sure to pack a wind-proof jacket, hat, sunglasses, sunblock and sea motion tablets (if needed)
