Hermanus is famous for being the best destination for land-based whale watching. This has transformed the town from a sleepy fishing village, in to a bustling seaside town, with a wide range of hotels, shops and restaurants on offer. It also boasts spectacular views, winding cliffs, lush mountains and deep dark seas.

Description
Southern right wales are common in the Walker Bay area but you can also spot some killer whales if you are lucky. The town is also home to the Whale House Museum where you can learn all about these fabulous animals. The town even has a whale-crier, a man who walks through the town announcing that whales are in the bay – so you will never miss them!
If you’re brave enough, you can also take part in a once in a lifetime activity – shark diving! Dryer Island is full of sharks for you to swim with, just climb in the cage and come face to face with a great white! Those who are less willing to face their fears can relax on the boat and keep an eye out for breaching sharks!
Hermanus also has a variety of other activities that you can take part in, from wine tasting and hiking to relaxing on a beach, there is so much choice! Start your day at Hemel-En-Aarde wine route to sample wine in stunning locations. Then head to Fernkloof Nature reserve for a relaxing hike and finally finish your day with a sunset picnic a Kammabaai beach, also known as Lovers Cove.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Gavin truly understands what we like but isn't worried about suggesting new countries or places of interest. All his suggestions have been spot on and enriched our holidays, he is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more adventures.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
