De Hoop Nature Reserve is an eventful year-round destination. From June to November, visitors can spot Southern right whales and their young. This cooler season is also great for activities like wildlife viewing, hiking, sandboarding and mountain biking. The rest of the year, from December to May, visitors can enjoy discovering rock pools, going on nature walks and having picnics. In the summertime, the various plants in bloom are a lovely sight. This time is also great for birding as at the end of spring, around October, migratory birds come to the reserve.
