JOIN THE FIRST-EVER WELCOME WHALES WAVE!!
|
One of the most exciting and innovative events at this year’s
Hermanus Whale Festival is the Welcome Whales Wave – about 2 000
people will create a human chain along the unique Cliff Path and
perform a welcoming wave for the whales which will be filmed for
television and other media.
The Welcome Whales Wave on 24 September, Heritage Day, is aimed
at raising awareness of the Cliff Path and uniting all our
people in a Proudly South African human chain of appreciation
for our Decade of Democracy, our heritage and our environment.
The event is being held in association with the Destination
Marketing Organisation (DMO) for Western Cape Tourism and Cape
Town Tourism.
Hermanus is rated as one of the top 13 whale-watching sites in
the world and is recognised as offering the best land based
whale watching in the world.
This is due to the many unequalled vantage points along the
scenic 12.5 kilometre Cliff Path that hugs the coastline from
the New Harbour to Grotto Beach.
The Welcome Whales Wave will stretch from Protea Road all
along the seafront of Marine Drive to Fick’s Pool, (approx 3km)
and will include celebrities, children, disabled people,
residents and visitors who will all be part of this historical
and fun celebration.
The Hermanus Whale Festival celebrates Proudly South African
week with the Welcome Whales Wave.
