Hermanus Cliff Path Walk

Hermanus, South Africa

About this experience

The Hermanus Cliff Path runs along the rocky shoreline of Walker Bay, linking viewpoints, benches, tidal pools and small beaches. In season, southern right whales can often be seen from the path, sometimes remarkably close to shore.

You can walk as much or as little as you like, and the town’s cafés are never far away.
