About this activity

As a photographer and Tour Guide based in Hermanus for approximately 20 years, I am passionate about the Whales, Birds & Nature.

There are seabirds, shorebirds, coastal scrub birds, water birds and mountain fynbos to experience within the Overberg. You don't need to be an avid birder, beginners & nature lovers are left thoroughly impressed by the splendour of our area, and I often have guests return for a second tour because there is simply too much to take in all in one trip.

I look forward to meeting you, sharing stories and finding those birds you're searching for.

I can collect the clients from their accommodation, if their accommodation is within a radius of 5km's of the centre of Hermanus' Village, alternatively we can discuss a convenient meeting point. Bird tours generally begin early in the morning, even instances of meeting and departing Hermanus before sunset during the Spring and Summer months in order to maximise the opportunities to find, watch and photograph birds.
