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 have recently returned from a multi centre holiday in Thailand. Everything went smoothly as planned, the hotels were all lovely. We would definitely recommend eShores and would book through them in the future. Thanks to Laura who organised the trip for us.

I booked two holidays in 4 months with Dave at eshores. First one a 16 day trip around Vietnam north to south which included numerous flights and taxis. My second holiday was in October traveling around Vietnam again and Cambodia. Every hotel in both countries was spot on, every transfer went smooth with no problems. I'll Definitely use eshores again and thanks to Dave who arranged everything, a fantastic experience 👍👍

Recently booked a four centre holiday to Asia. The process was straightforward and seamless. Rob, the agent who dealt with our requirements was extremely helpful and not pushy. He was very easy to talk with and seemed genuinely interested in our plans. He managed to put together exactly what we wanted and at a great price.

First time I have used eshores and it won't be the last. Emma was so helpful in booking my 3 centre holiday to Portugal. Really pleased with accommodation selected and the overall cost. Emma was very quick to respond with different options and I'm looking forward to our holiday next year. I highly recommend this company

We have just booked a trip to the Far East having previously used this company twice, Vietnam/Cambodia and a Road Trip in the USA. Both trips were problem free with all aspects going to plan. Easy to talk to and never pushing for a decision. A lovely company , thank you Dave for your time and assistance.

We booked what appeared to be a busy holiday to South Africa and Mauritius. This consisted of five different fights and hotels with the various transfers included. Rachael organised the holiday for us and every aspect of the trip went well. Took a lot of the stress out and allowed us to have a fantastic holiday. Friendly,Professional service with professional staff. Will use them again.
