Description

Join us as we venture on a day of whale watching in Hermanus from Cape Town in South Africa! Sail past white sandy beaches, see spectacular vistas of the cliffs of De Kelders and have close encounters with southern right whales on this 1-day trip.

A seaside town southeast of Cape Town, Hermanus is a popular whale-watching destination in South Africa. The trip begins from the capital city of Cape Town and takes us on a journey like no other!

We will set on a boat and launch from the beautiful harbor of Gansbaai, sailing past the cliffs of De Kelders. From here, we will head towards an area with a high concentration of whales, on the South African Coastline. Learn about the fun facts and feeding styles of these giant sea mammals as we sail.

Once we reach, you will be delighted to see these enormous creatures rollicking in water. You might as well spot playful dolphins, Cape fur seals, and other marine animals. Be attentive for Bryde’s whales jumping in the sea!

Besides whales, it is not uncommon to catch a glimpse of the adorable African penguins and the beautiful orcas. It will be fun spotting so many marine animals on this one trip!

After relishing our time in the sea, we will head back to the harbor, ending this incredible adventure in the evening.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
