Whale Watching in Gansbaai – Front Row Seats to the Ocean’s Giants
Welcome to one of the world’s best whale-watching hotspots. From June to December, Gansbaai’s coastal waters come alive with southern right whales—breaching, tail-slapping, and gliding just metres from shore or boat.
Hop aboard a guided marine tour for close encounters, where expert crews share fascinating insights as whales gracefully surface beside you. Or, stay land-based and catch the spectacle from the cliffs of De Kelders, where mothers and calves often linger in the shallow, sheltered bays.
It’s not just about whales—dolphins, seals, seabirds, and the sheer majesty of Walker Bay’s untouched coastline round out this immersive nature experience. Whether you're a wildlife fanatic or simply craving a moment of ocean wonder, Gansbaai delivers it in full, spine-tingling style.
Bring your camera, your curiosity, and your sense of awe—because whale watching here is not a maybe, it’s a must.
