Mossel Bay is located on the Garden Route Whale Trail. Our seaview rooms and balconies offer you an ideal viewpoint to observe Southern Right Whales (May to October); humpbacks (May to December) and dolphins (almost all-year). Boat based whale watching trips are available from July to October. The whales are usually located quite near the beach - just behind the breakwater, since they prefer the calm waters of the Bay during calving season. Bryde's and Killer Whales are also frequently seen.
