I loved this day out. Our private driver was excellent and full of knowledge. He drove us to see penguins at Stony Beach and then onto Hermanus to see 6 whales (its end of the season now as well) and then to a lovely wine Estate called Benguela Cove where we did some wine tasting and had a charcuterie board.

Great driver (Pedro), saw lots of whales despite being at the end of the season. The tour company were helpful and were flexible to arrangements

The private driver, Charleton, drove us to Hermanus and told us stories of cape town and surrounding area the entire time! He was very friendly. The boat tour was exceptional, was up close to hundreds of dolphins and about 5 whales!

Wonderful experience at Benguela Cove winery - we went here early before any crowds arrived and the tranquility. Enjoyed a short walking tour Hermanus before heading to the harbour to catch our boat to go out and see the whales - lucky to see multiple southern right mother & calves. Our guide Morne was knowledgeable and helped us capture some great photos of the day!

The trip got canceled by the operator. We never got a respond for the refund. Do NOT book this unless you are 100% sure of a sunny day!
