First Whales for 2013 in Hermanus!

On Tuesday, 11th June, Southern Right Charters encountered our first southern right whale for the 2013 Hermanus whale watching season.

Southern Right Charters officially began our Hermanus whale watching trips last week and have been seeing mostly Humpback & Brydes whales during our trips.
