Whale season is just around the corner. The whales start to arrive from July. The Southern Right Whale is a large whale that was at one time almost extinct due to whaling activity. Over the last few decades it has made a remarkable recovery. Hermanus is the tourists destination of choice to sight these marvelous mammals as the whales often come within metres of the shoreline in this area. The town employs the only 'whale blower' in the world who walks around the town announcing where the whales are in the sea. He announces their presence with a bugle made of seaweed.
