Kelp Horn

Never miss the whales. Kelp Horn tells you the moment whales are spotted around Hermanus, while they're still there. LIVE MAP See where whales are right now, at 20 viewing spots along the coast from Onrus Beach to Grotto. A pin stays bright while people keep seeing them, goes grey once they've moved on, and the map starts fresh at midnight. An empty map means nothing's about, so you don't drive the coast hoping. ALERTS Turn on alerts and your phone tells you the moment whales are spotted: which whales, where, and when. SPOTTED BY LOCALS Sightings come from a small group of regulars who watch Walker Bay, so an alert means whales. Seen them too? Sign in and tap "Yes I saw" to keep the sighting bright for the next person. SHARE TO WHATSAPP One tap sends a sighting to the family chat, with the spot, the time and a link to the map. FREE, NO ADS No account needed to watch the map or get alerts. No ads, no tracking, and your location never leaves your phone. WATCH RESPECTFULLY Whales in Walker Bay are resting, calving and nursing. Watch from the shore or with a licensed boat operator. Southern right whales are usually in Walker Bay from about June to December, most from about August to October. Kelp Horn is an independent app made in Hermanus. It isn't connected to Hermanus Tourism or any tour operator.
