December Holidays in Fish Hoek

Fish Hoek locals all agree that there’s something truly magical about False Bay in summer. We all love this wild, salty, ever-changing pocket of ocean outside Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa. It’s like watching a daily drama where the actors are sharks, dolphins, whales, seals, penguins, and even the occasional visiting Orca! They all perform captivating sequels beneath a backdrop of rugged mountains and endless blue sky.

Fish Hoek locals often refer to Orcas as "killer whales", and here's why: ancient sailors dubbed them "whale killers" when they frequently observed these large ocean species hunting and killing large whales and other marine animals. The term "killer whale" reflects their reputation as powerful apex predators, even preying on great white sharks.
