During season we are likely to see these whales from our boat.
However, they will choose to approach us and not the other way around.

Boys are back in town!
Infamous orca duo ‘port’ and ‘starboard’ spotted this morning cruising west along the kelp forests near shore of the Hermanus coastline.
Absolutely amazing sighting.
Regularly playful, lob-tailing and spy hopping as well as coming to check the boat out.
‘Port’ also predated on a mola mola sunfish as a little snack - (see last pics)
What. A. Morning.

With so much marine wildlife activity in our waters lately, it is sometimes difficult to know if what you see is a shark 🦈or a whale🐋?
Dolphins, whales, seals, sea lions, and otters are all mammals. They give birth to live young and nurse their young with milk. In contrast, even though some sharks give birth to live young, sharks are fish.
Here are 3 very obvious telltales that can help you.

Whale Watchers Hermanus
Have you ever heard of a whale creating a rainbow? It may sound unbelievable, but it actually happens. Whale bows are made by drops from the whale’s blowholes rather than the more usual raindrops.
Rainbows are a common sight after rain showers, but it is extremely rare to witness one generated by a mammal
The Whale Bow stands out as a unique example of atmospheric optics.
It is created by the mist of water v***r expelled from the spout of the whale, which refracts sunlight and forms a beautiful rainbow🌈🐳

Early rise for the Sony Point penguins on this Monday morning.
The boardwalk is open and they are fluffing their feathers for the visitors.

On a trip we will pass kelp forests.
A Kelp Forest is an underwater forest where giant sea bamboo grows like tall trees, fish swim through the algae fronds like birds, while abalone, sea urchins, and rock lobsters feed and take cover among the root-like holdfasts.
Did you know whales love playing with the kelp?
Come SEA them for yourself! 💙

A WARM WELCOME TO BUFFEL
Hermanus has a celebrity visiting Onrus Beach! Buffel is a southern elephant seal and is no stranger to South African shores. He has previously been seen at Duiker Island, Cape Point, and Fish Hoek Beach, where he has hauled out to undergo his annual moult.
Buffel will be landbound for the next 4-5 weeks.

Often seen from the boat are whales lobtailing: This behavior is when Southern Right Whales slap their tails on the surface of the water possibly for communication, or it can be an expression of discomfort or just to play😆🐳 - #whalewatching Whale Watchers Hermanus www.hermanuswhalewatchers.co.za
A very early Southern Right Whale, the first of the season, has just been spotted breaching in from of the Old Harbour in Hermanus. The promise of a very good #whalewatchingseason Video: Walkerbay Adventures
Fewer babies for South African Whales 😥 Research on the South African southern right whale population over the last decade has shown a drastic drop in the whale population, most likely as a response to environmental changes in their eating behavior. It is then perhaps unsurprising that the 3-year calving cycle, one-year gestation, one-year lactation, and one year of rest to allow the female to recover and accumulate enough energy reserve to support the next pregnancy, has changed in the South African southern right whale population. The new 4-5 year calving intervals may imply either that they need additional resting years ( to build up fat reserves) between successive calving or the loss of the baby.

Often a whale may thrust its body out of the water, pivot it onto its side and fall back with an enormous splash. This behaviour is called " breaching" and can occur several times in succession as spectacularly captured here by #WhaleWatchers guest @RogerdelaHarpe https://www.rogerandpatdelaharpe.com/ ☔️🌊💦With today's 🌞weather turning foul again this week, it will be an excellent time to book your #whalewatchingtrip🐳 soon.
