Southern Right Whales
Every year hundreds of Southern Right Whales visit our coastline to mate and give birth to their young. The best time to view these gentle giants "in our area" is between July & December (whale season). During the whale season the qualified marine guides on our top boat-based whale-watching vessel (Whale Whisperer), guarantee whale sightings as well as an introduction to the area's diverse and rich marine life.

De Kelders (5 min. drive from the Great White House) is also a very famous spot for land-based whale-watching because of its unique high cliffs and natural deep bays right next to it. During this period groups of whales often come in to relax and nurse their calves less than 50 metres away from the shore.

What makes our whale operation unique?
Unlike all the other whale operators our operation does not only focus on the Southern Right Whale, but during this 2 ½ hour trip, passangers will not only see whales, but also: Cape fur-seals, African penquins, Cape cormorants and most importantantly, stop at the shark boats to get a quick preview of typical white shark behaviour.

YOUR STAY AT THE GREAT WHITE HOUSE WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA
