Hermanus has been acknowledged by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as one of the twelve best whale viewing locations in the world. The world's only Whale Crier has become a legend and is the most photographed icon in South Africa next to Nelson Mandela. What makes the whale watching in Hermanus so phenomenal is the fact that the whales can be seen from as close as a few meters from the beach, shore or rocky cliffs.
