Whales and sharks - Adventurer. Date of travel: May 2007
Gansbaai is just an hour from Cape Town between the towns of Hermanus and Pearly Beach on the south coast. The area feels very wild and is backed by large mountains. Many visitors pass through Gansbaai on their way to Hermanus - a lovely coastal drive. But most visit to watch whales (best between August and December) and go Great White Shark diving. There are a number of operators doing this and its perfectly safe, although pretty scary. Some people opt to stay on the boat where you also get a great view of these amazing creatures, but the best experience is under the water... holding your breath.
