Whale Watching

REASONS TO EMBRACE WINTER

1. Whale Watching
   Whale Season starts mid-June (and continues till November) and offers locals and foreigners alike an opportunity to marvel at the size of the Southern Right Whales. Consider the 5-day Whale Trail in the De Hoop Nature Reserve or for a day trip drive up the Cape Whale Coast.
2. Namaqualand Flower Route
   Spring wild flowers start blooming from July to October. This spectacle can be enjoyed along the west coast of South Africa (in the Northern Cape and north of Cape Town).
3. The Sardine Run
   The Sardine Run takes place between May and July each year, along the coast of northern Eastern Cape and southern KwaZulu Natal. Millions of sardines and all of the predators they attract (sharks, birds, game fish, etc). Surface watching, snorkeling and scuba diving.
4. Numerous Winter Events and Festivals
5. Discounted accommodation – weekend breaks for less! Continued
