This is undoubtedly one of the best areas for Whale Watching from our stunning De Kelder's cliffs - or a boat cruise around Dyer Island (marine bird sanctuary) and geyser Rock (Cape fur seal colony), when you can have a really "up close and personal" encounter with these magnificent creatures in their own environment. High whale season for Southern Right Whales is August to the end of December when there are many "mother and child" encounters - awesome!!! SEE OUR WEB PAGE "WHALES" FOR MORE DETAILS ON WHALE WATCHING BOAT CRUISES.
