Why Travel to Cape Whale Route? by

Tours to the Cape Whale Route are all about whale watching in Hermanus and shark cage diving in Gansbaai, as well as taking in the spectacular coastal scenery. 

Most of our budget tours to this famous part of the Overberg travel from Cape Town to Gansbaai for shark cage diving adventures. We offer some exciting guided cycling tours that include the Cape Whale Route - an outstanding way to experience this picturesque region. Then, most of our South Africa tours (from or to Cape Town) pass through the Cape Whale Route on longer itineraries, along the Garden Route, into the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and even to Kruger Park. 

Nearby attractions that combine well with the Cape Whale Route include Cape Town safari destinations and the Cape Winelands of the Western Cape.
