When is the most affordable time to visit Hermanus?

While whale sightings are less frequent than in peak season, you can still spot them, and other activities like hiking in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve remain accessible.

Many guesthouses and boutique hotels offer special off-season rates, and you can often find deals on activities like wine tasting in the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
