The whale watching season begins in earnest from 1 May 2010 and the public are encouraged to spot whales and report them for recording on the local whale sightings log maintained by
A Whale Of A Heritage Route.
The log is maintained on behalf of SA Tourism's whale desk and assists in promoting False Bay as a whale watching destination in both the South African and global contexts.
The first
Southern Right Whale reported earns the person a prize at the annual
Whale Spotter's Breakfast in December.
To report a whale sighting, sms details (where & when) to
