Kleinbaai Whale Watching

About Kleinbaai Whale Watching

Take a boat trip and get a close up view of the Southern Right Whales. The Kleinbaai area is generally regarded as one of the best whale-watching sites, attracting many of these mellow giants of the sea.

The Southern Right Whales start arriving in June to mate and calve. Peak time for whale watching is October, but many whales can still be seen in November, tailing off in December.

Most of the whales in the Walker Bay area are Southern Right Whales, but other species do make an occasional appearance. Humpback whales migrate through the region between May and December, while Bryde’s whales are found slightly further off shore all year round.

Occasional sightings of Killer Whales, or Orcas, have been reported. Dolphins that can be seen in the region include the endemic Heavisides dolphin, Bottlenose and Common dolphins.
