It was a really fun family outing. Be sure to book ahead of time to ensure you get a spot, and follow their instructions (warm clothing and bring socks for the gumboots). Get there early because there's quite a bit to look at inside and then you can grab a nice seat in front for the demonstration. Suggestions for improvement: the tour guides could have been slightly better informed, since they weren't able to answer all of the group's questions (perhaps keep notes of recurring questions?) It would also have been nice to see the canning facilities as well as learn something about the growth of actual pearls.

This was an amazing, informative and cullinary experience which we did not expect (4.7👌). Our guide, Kurt, was very knowledgeable on the subject of abalone, Hermanus and the history of fishing in the area, and he made it a memorable tour. It was only sad that we were only 2 people on his guided tour that day. You have to walk a short distance but the terrain is easy and you are provided with gumboots. For an additional amount you can do a tasting. We certainly enjoyed it. An email which you receive after booking online provides all the nitty gritty re. directions to the venue, socks with the boots required, etc. Read your email. Thank you Kurt and HOA, we truly enjoyed our outing.

Our recent tour of 'Heart of Abalone' with wonderful attentive guide Kurt held many surprises. The safety measures were impressive. We learned the history of this farm and were astounded by the sheer magnitude and scope of the operation. The impact of Eskom power outages and diesel costs for the generators make us fear for those thousands of amazing mollusks that depend on the sea water, oxygen supply, kelp and more. We are spreading the word to friends and family and intend to return. Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing experience, love the walking tour, and the tasting at the end. Definitely a must do in Hermanus.

I knew nothing about Abalone before I came to this farm and was genuinely impressed. Just wanted to do the tasting which we missed out on. However, this is an incredible experience.

Lovely, informative tour with exceptionally friendly guides. Not really suitable for small children, but very interesting for those old enough to understand.

What an experience! We indeed found the tour informative and eye-opening as well as relaxed and somewhat serene. We wish you the very best with all your future endeavors. Regards, Koos & Lynette Lombard, Paarl, South Africa.

Once again Johan you and your team out did yourself. What an amazing experience. A must do in Hermanus people

Really enjoyed our experience, Kurt was awesome. Very interesting and loved the tasting. Would highly recommend.

Did a tour of Heart Abalone farm with Kurt today what an informative tour not to be missed

I have been to Hermanus several times and have never thought of going here. It was so informative and have recommended it to my family and friends. We never realised that it was such a big operation. Thanks Kurt for a very informative tour!

Thank you for this fantastic tour. It was interesting to learn about the abalone and the operations of the farm, I am still really impressed about its sheer size. If you get the chance, book this tour, it‘s really worth it and thank you Kurt for sharing your knowledge about the farm.

Great tour of the abalone farm. The tour guide was super informative and made the whole thing extra special! I honestly didn't expect the whole process to be so interesting! Definitely a must see.
