Whale watching at Cape Agulhas

An aerial ocean safari past Hermanus to the southern tip of Africa, landing at De Hoop Nature Reserve.

The experience

What to expect

Some of the best whale watching on earth, from the best possible seat. The flight follows the coast past Hermanus and Gansbaai to Cape Agulhas, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, and the pilot circles whenever whales are spotted.

You land at De Hoop Nature Reserve for welcome drinks, a fynbos drive and time on the beach before lunch and the flight home.
