Southern right whales are large, peaceful creatures known for their unique communication through jumps and fin splashes. They migrate to the warmer waters of Walker Bay between June and December, attracting crowds of spectators along the Cape Whale Coast. The whales’ distinctive callosities and Vshaped blowhole make them easily recognizable, but they are vulnerable to the detrimental impacts of the industrial fishing industry. Despite this, the annual performance of these gentle giants on the Cape Whale Coast is a breathtaking display of nature’s splendor.
