The De Hoop nature reserve is renowned for being one of the best places for land-based whale watching. Right outside De Hoop's Morukuru Family Lodges, the bay is completely protected and an ideal environment for these fascinating giants. The best time of year for enjoying this magnificent spectacle is between July and the end of October. You can then admire the extraordinary ballet of these cetaceans from the beach, the sand dunes, and even your suite. Moments of pure magic!
