The cliff pathway which stretches for kilometers along Hermanus's cliffs are absolutely awesome. During stormy weather it's liberating watching the waves crash against the cliffs and on a clear day, the views are food for the soul.

A must-do for anyone who visits Hermanus! The path is well maintained and not to difficult, offering surreal views and diverse indigenous plants, flowers and wildlife.

No entrance fee, view emaculent, also safe as there are patrollers

Excellent path with incredible views. We were there in mid-July and weren’t lucky enough to spot any whales, but the walk is easily worth it for the scenery. Guards help maintain a sense of security.

A great path that hugs the coast line. Lots of very interesting information boards. We walked the whole path which takes around 2 hours return from the centre of town towards the new harbour. The sea views are just mind blowing. A must to do.

While on holiday I frequently went for a morning jog along the Hermanus Cliff Path, which is also known as the Fernkloff Cliff Path. The path is well maintained and very beautiful. It provides stunning views of the ocean, the town of Hermanus, the new harbor and, if you are lucky, you might even spot some whales (during the right time of the year). The path varies between elevations, but nothing too strenuous, making this a perfect option for casual strolls to high paced runs.

Confer to Cliff Path Hiking Trail Hermanus ???? ???? ????
A lovely trail for walking along the shore with excellent opportunities to watch the Southern Right whales in the winter season. Starting from Gearings Point to the New Harbor. Lingering for a while at the different viewing points and benches and with a little luck and patience you will get stunning and awesome views and impressions of the gentle giants. I think one of the best places for landbased whale watching. In addition a short video clip, unworked/unedited. Moreover some small maps to give an overview.
