What to do in Hermanus?

Sea kayaking in Walker Bay.

Get up close and personal with the marine life across Hermanus’ coastline in a kayak! Take in the view of the mountain, sea cliffs and marine life – starting from the historical Old Harbour – on a round trip depending on the wind, swells and your paddling abilities. All of Walker Bay Adventures‘ trips are accompanied by experienced guides, and include a thorough briefing on kayaking techniques. Keep in mind that kayaks are paddled in a marine reserve, so paddlers are not allowed to come within 300m of a whale.
