Best places: Tourist attractions in Overstrand Local Municipality, South Africa

👍👍 A gentle, kind place with close-up encounters with these beautiful wild animals - always with the animals coming first. Heart-warming to discover Panthera's vision of protecting animals that have been abused by unkind or unthinking contact with humans. We spent a wonderful couple of hours on the tou...

👍👍 Excellent path with incredible views. We were there in mid-July and weren’t lucky enough to spot any whales, but the walk is easily worth it for the scenery. (I actually spotted both dolphins and a whale in the video I took once I got home!) Guards help maintain a sense of security. We enjoyed parki...

👍👍 We went whale watching with them. They cancelled our original dates due to poor weather but offered alternate dates. We had a wonderful time and managed to see approx 20 whales in total. Very well organised and the host was very informative before and during the cruise. Will definitely recommend the...

👍👍 Pringle Bay Main Beach deserves its ratings , it’s a spectacular and pristine beach. Soft sand and lack of crowds made this particular spot of sand extra special. Depending on the conditions, you can find a good surf or body boarding. When the wind doesn’t blow, you can enjoy time on this beach:...

👍👍 This is an amazing scenic drive well worth doing. The roadside was damaged by the recent storm, but is under repair and still drivable

Popular spot for hiking & wildlife viewing amid a wide range of flora & cultivated ecosystems.

👍👍 ["\ud83d\udcf8\ud83d\udcf8\ud83d\udc33 \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a What another fantastic outlook point in Hermanus along the R43 and the Cliff Path close to the beaches (Langbaai, Grotto, etc). Sitting on a bench at all times of a day recommended. Stunning views and impressions are waiting for you. Es...

Nature reserve with hiking & cycling paths amid diverse habitats, including fynbos, plus beaches.

👍👍 It's amazing that so many volunteers keep this organisation afloat through their incredible hard work and commitment. The penguins are brought in from Dyer Island and cared for until they are old enough or fit enough to be returned to their natural habitat. You can take a walk through and have a l...

👍 A nice place to view penguins. Most of the area is cornered off for the birds. It is a nice spot, probably as good as the aquarium in Cape town to view them. This is not a beach for leisure. Large sections are cornered off. There are other beaches close by that can be used for leisure. Plenty of das...

Rugged coastal reserve with beaches & cliffs, offering land-based whale watching, hiking & biking.

Protected home of African penguins, with an elevated boardwalk hugging a boulder-strewn coast.

👍👍 The water was really cold, and visibility was difficult. It’s amazing how Great White Sharks and other sea creatures know where to go. Service was excellent and the guides are super knowledgeable. One felt same at all times and was a nervous and exciting experience of Shark Cage Diving. The more we...

Stalls for home-grown goods, prepared meals & pastries at a Saturday morning market with live music.

👍 Nice cave to visit. Archaeological value too. Not ideal for older or unfit people so better be in good shape to go there. Great place to take photos. The view is magnificent, the sea is in pure shades of blue, the beach nearby is clean but beware the cold water.

👍👍 A lovely rock enclosed swimming beach with a sandy shoreline. Grass embankment with changing rooms, immaculate toilets and benches to sir and enjoy the ocean. A little food truck covers all the basic with a really friendly guy in attendance. Parking area just above the beach.

👍👍 Was a good experience. The attendants were very explanatory in how to ride the quad bikes and were also patient, before the ride started. The ride along the mountain was great, with impressive views. The bikes were very functional, no mechanic faults. Very engaging activity. Could have been mor...

👍👍 Loved it. Such beautiful nature and beach. Ideal for hiking and sand dune riding.

Lakeside country development including housing, a golf course, hiking trails & a spa hotel.

👍 Rotary Way Hermanus is a lookout place to see the beauty of the ocean from high mountains. You can hike or drive to this place. The place is always empty so take care of the time and your belongings. The security cars do take routine to and fro here to help anyone in distress. Follow the right roads...
