What a way to start the day, sea kayaking around the coast, seeing seals, riding the swell. A great outting at a reasonable price. More

They do lots more but we were only around for 2 days, but if the rest is as good as the whale watching... More

Against a backdrop of the Overburg, standing on the Hermanus cliffs and seeing visiting mothers with their calves playing in the ocean HAS to be a 'must see' in any traveller's itinerary. Listening for the 'whalewatcher's horn' that alerts visitors of a whale sighting and witnessing the sheer exuberance of the baby whales is a joy to watch, FOUR days... More

Going out on the ocean on kyaks was a truly memorable experience and Herman and his team are knowledgeable and professional. We managed the paddling without too much difficulty, although we are not particularly fit and although we did not meet any whales on our trip, we did see seals and many marine birds. This experience should not be missed... More

During our visit to Hermanus, South Africa, my husband decided to go kayaking with Walker Bay Adventures. The trip was some R300 which is reasonable for a guided kayak trip though the bay of Hermanus. My husband came back, soaked wet, and said he Loved It! - the guide was knowledgeable, and very friendly, and despite the choppy seas, he... More

Have been on this sea kayaking trip several times now and it is just amazing!! Herman and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable about the sea and wildlife. I've always felt very safe as the kayaking is done in a group with an experienced guide. Great value for money and a must for anyone that visits Hermanus. During whale... More

When I planned my trip to Hermanus a couple of months back, shark cage diving and whale watching were the 2 must do things on my list. It is on this context that I contacted Walkerbay. The reason, ofcourse were the wonderful reviews that I read on Tripadvisor. I emailed to walkerbay and sent my dates and queries. Within 48... More

Kayaking during the whale season was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. The coast is stunning and the best way to see it is to be out on the bay. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the whales, the kelp forests, the local ecosystem. He knew lots of fascinating facts about whales (for example, it takes as much... More

This is a must do for your trip to this region. The guide is so good with people, sorry I forgot his name! We booked our trip in the harbour and paddled out. It was my partner's first time, and still veery manageable. Well done guys! More
