Private Tour
Hermanus & Overberg Birding
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
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.

A superb morning with Dave…

5.00Dave is such an interesting offer guy who immediately makes you feel very welcome. He clearly has a real love and passion for nature and photography. We spent a wonderful morning birdwatching and getting an oversight of Hermanus and its beautiful surroundings. He was patient and showed us some sights that we wouldn’t normally have seen. Would highly recommend Dave to anyone interested in birds or whales of this stunning part of SA

Bird with a birder

5.00I booked a morning birding tour with Dave. Nikki, who managed the bookings, was excellent and responds instantly to queries and questions. I mentioned that I had dipped on the Cape Rockjumper on previous locations. Dave took a detour and it was my first bird of the day. What a cracking bird?!! Dave is passionate about birds and whales, and generously shares his knowledge with enthusiasm. He has many birding stories and knows the art of storytelling. After a long morning birding, we spent the afternoon whale watching. It was a wonderful day, thanks to Dave and Nikki.
Bird Watching with Dave de Beer was the highlight of our trip.

5.00The bird watching trip with Dave de Beer was a highlight of our two week trip to South Africa. His knowledge of the landscape, places, and birds was exceptional. The route we went showed us lots of different habitats and species. We were also lucky enough to see a whale from the shore. Such a delight to meet someone who is so passionate about the environment.
Great trip
