There are several articles and videos on the Southern Right Whale, a symbol of South Africa's marine heritage. Weighing up to 60 tons and reaching lengths of 17 meters, they are truly a sight to behold. Named by early whalers who considered them the 'right' whale to hunt, these gentle giants are known for their curious nature and often approach boats and shoreline observers.

The Whale of a Time feature also includes articles and videos about Hermanus – one of the best places in South Africa to see whales -- and the annual Hermanus Whale Festival. There are tips and tricks for watching whales from shore or on boat tours as well as and information on conservation efforts that have brought Southern Right Whales back from near extinction.
