{"product_id":"south-africa-hermanus-southern-right-charters","title":"Southern Right Charters","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou join Southern Right Charters in Hermanus for a boat-based whale watching tour from June to December, when Southern Right and Humpback whales migrate to Walker Bay. The custom catamaran Miroshca is designed for stability, with multiple viewing levels and a surround-sound PA system for the guide’s commentary. Rangers and trackers have worked these waters since 1999, and the boat approaches whales as close as fifty metres — though the whales often come closer on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTours start with a briefing on land about the whales you may see, including their behaviours like breaching and spyhopping. The guide points out other marine life too: Bryde’s whales, dolphins, seals, and African penguins. The catamaran has indoor and outdoor seating, toilets, and a water refill station. Children under twelve wear provided life jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whales arrive in Hermanus to calve and mate, having travelled from Antarctic feeding grounds. The bay’s shallow, sandy coves suit them, and over a hundred Southern Right whales may be here at once. The boat leaves from New Harbour, where the Whale Shack booking office has a life-size model of a Southern Right whale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the sea is too rough for whale watching, the crew suggests land-based options like the Hermanus Cliff Path or the local wine route.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932468347100,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/southern-right-charters-whale-watching-tour-agency-the-whale-shack-new-harbour-hermanus-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783203297","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-hermanus-southern-right-charters","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
