Penguins to Whales Hermanus Whale Festival Bettys Bay to Hermanus Paddle
The transformation in whale conservation from the whaling station at Bettys Bay in the early 1900s to today's Whale Festival is profound. Founded in 1992, Hermanus Whale Festival celebrates these magnificent creatures, showcasing global efforts in conservation and education. Our 40km Paddling trip from Bettys Bay to Hermanus aims to celebrate this. The festival unites communities, highlighting successes in protecting whale populations and promoting sustainable practices. It serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating how attitudes and actions can shift to safeguard marine biodiversity for future generations.
