Shark diving is very popular with adventure travelers and cage diving as well as surface viewing trips can be arranged with local shark diving tour operators. The awesome cliffs of De Kelders (meaning the cellars) attract visitors and professional photographers every year from June to January for undoubtedly the best land based viewing of our magnificent Southern Right Whales.

A walk in the harbour at sunset with the nostalgic cries of seagulls and slow moving fishing trawlers on the horizon is a soothing cure for stress.
