We’ll fly you over the watery stage where the largest mammals in the world perform both in the water - and out. Scores of Southern Right whales visit the waters of the Western Cape, particularly Hermanus to mate and calve. And Silver Cross Helicopter Charters offers you an aerial view! You can capture the antics of these giants on camera from the helicopter or just sit back, absorb and enjoy the experience.

‘A group of Southern Right whales were undulating in the swell, just behind the back line, while their barnacle- encrusted heads appeared intermittently above the water, ‘spyhopping’ - in laymen’s terms, ‘casing the joint. ’ The calf suckles about 600 litres of milk a day so it’s hardly surprising they grow into strapping adults (weighing as much as 10 elephants). As these monsters from the deep, wallow, breach and blow, they take laid back, but resolute, ownership of their ocean.' - The Cape Times
