Hermanus is located at what the early explorers called "the Cape of Storms" and they sure were right, as the wind, rain and high sea waves can occur, especially during the Winter months of May to August.

This quite obviously cancels many of the fabulous activities that Hermanus has to offer - including - Whale watching boat trips, Great White Shark cage diving boats, Kayaking and other fair-weather activities and pursuits.

Thankfully Hermanus has many other activities to keep you and your family busy that avoids getting rained on.

The pretty seaside town of Hermanus is blessed with many incredible natural wonders, fabulous coastal and mountain scenery, as well as, many creative art galleries, top quality restaurants, award winning wines and wineries - and much more......


What to see & do in Hermanus on BAD weather days -

So here's a list of Activities to keep you busy, entertained, happy to be out exploring and not stuck in your hotel room reading a boring newspaper or watching rubbish TV soaps.

Also remember that after the eye of a rainstorm has passed over us, then the following day usually still has high waves BUT much clearer, sunnier and calmer skies – so the ocean vessels might still not be able to go out on their trips, but there are even more things to see and do.
