  <name>Hermanus Whale Watching Tour</name>
  <summary>Travel along the dramatic Cape Coastline to Hermanus for arguably the best shore-based whale watching in the World and the chance to see a magnificent Southern Right Whale breaching.  </summary>
  <full_description>&lt;p&gt;Close to the southernmost tip of Africa, Hermanus enjoys a richly deserved reputation for its fantastic shore-based whale watching, between July and November. From the excellent vantage points&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;the rocky cliff path that hugs the coastline from one end of Hermanus to the other, whale watchers can get within 20 meters of these magical creatures as they cruise along the coves. The area is a haven for the Southern Right Whale, but other species including Humpbacks, Killer whales plus Bottlenose and Common dolphins are occasionally sighted. The world&amp;rsquo;s only &amp;lsquo;Whale Crier&amp;rsquo; alerts visitors to the location of the whales by blasting his kelp horn. Enjoy wondrous views of the Cape Peninsula as you return to Cape Town via Sir Lowry&amp;rsquo;s pass. &lt;/p&gt;</full_description>
