You’ve seen Hermanus from the shore. Now see it from the water.

A guided sea-kayaking trip from the Old Harbour offers a completely different perspective of Walker Bay, with the coastline stretching out behind you and the possibility of spotting some of the marine life that calls these waters home.

It’s active, scenic and a brilliant way to add something different to your Hermanus itinerary.

After your morning on the water, there’s still plenty of time for lunch in town, a little exploring and an easy return to The Whale’s Tale for the rest of the afternoon.

Stay with us and experience Hermanus from every angle.

Some of the best parts of a getaway happen between the plans.

A fresh breakfast before heading out. A quiet moment taking in the ocean views. An afternoon beside the pool when the Hermanus sunshine makes staying in just as tempting as going out.

Then there are the smaller moments. Returning to a comfortable room, enjoying the garden surroundings and deciding what tomorrow’s adventure will be.

That’s life at The Whale’s Tale: comfortable, unhurried and close to everything you came to Hermanus to experience.

Make yourself at home on the coast.

Make breakfast when you feel like it, enjoy a quiet evening in, or simply spread out and make the space your own.

For longer stays, relaxed weekends or couples who appreciate a little extra independence, the Private Apartment offers a different way to experience The Whale’s Tale.
