Watching Whales is one of the most awsome dispays around Plettenberg Bay. Even watching them from the Robberg Beach, you can see these huge mammals playing in the water, feeding their little ones. They are in Plettenberg Bay from about July until January, but you might see the most of them during the last few months.
