The Hermanus Whale Festival, the only Enviro-Arts festival in South Africa, is held annually to celebrate the return of the Southern Right Whales to the waters of Walker Bay, our magnificent environment and the arrival of spring!

Hermanus is known as the best land-based whale watching destination in the world and plays host to thousands of visitors who flock to the seaside resort to exhilarate in the unique natural environment, watch whales, join in the world's only Welcome Whales Wave and revel in music, comedy, cabaret and African rhythms every night during the Festival.

The whales are always the star performers at the Festival and will be joined on land by musicians, crafters, sports celebrities and thousands of people celebrating the arrival of Spring

Southern Right Whales are large baleen whales (average size of an adult is approx. 15 metres). This species has a three-year breeding cycle, with each female producing one calf every three years. They migrate to our sheltered bays in winter to give birth, generally around August. At this time, some individuals will also be mating. When they are not here in South Africa, they are in the Antarctic in their rich summer feeding grounds.
