Coastal Marvels

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with East Cape Tours as we take you to the enchanting waters of South Africa, where majestic whales grace the seas with their awe-inspiring presence. South Africa is renowned for offering some of the world’s most incredible whale-watching experiences, with several prime locations to witness these gentle giants. Head to Hermanus, known as the whale-watching capital of the world, where the coastline provides a perfect vantage point for spotting Southern Right Whales. The town’s elevated cliffs offer panoramic views, creating a surreal backdrop for these magnificent creatures as they breach and play in the ocean. For a unique experience, explore the coastal town of Plettenberg Bay or the De Hoop Nature Reserve, where diverse marine life awaits, including humpback and Bryde’s whales.

Whale Watching Escapade

Extend your whale-watching journey beyond South Africa and explore the coastal wonders of Southern African countries, East African nations, and Indian Ocean islands. In Mozambique, the warm waters near Tofo Beach attract humpback whales, providing an intimate encounter with these gentle leviathans. Venture to Madagascar, where the Nosy Be archipelago invites you to witness the annual migration of humpback whales. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the islands create a magical setting for observing these marine giants in their natural habitat. Further east, the island of Mauritius offers an exceptional whale-watching experience with the opportunity to spot sperm whales and the rare beaked whales. Whether you’re drawn to the shores of South Africa or eager to explore the whale-rich waters of Southern and East Africa, East Cape Tours is your gateway to an immersive whale-watching adventure. Immerse yourself in the beauty of these majestic creatures as they traverse the ocean, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

    We did a short term decision to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on a long weekend. ECT‘s recommendation in regards of flights, hotel, dinner tour and drumshow was simply perfect and allowed to relax as well. I only can recommend.
