About Percy Tours
Percy Tours is a Hermanus-based tour operator with over 22 years of experience running guided excursions across the Cape Town and Western Cape region. Founded by Percy Sobita, the company specialises in tailor-made tours that combine whale watching, wine tasting, scenic drives, and cultural experiences into private, chauffeured itineraries suited to each guest's interests.
Their most popular offering is the Hermanus whale watching experience — regarded as one of the best land-based and boat-based whale viewing destinations on the planet, with hundreds of Southern Right Whales visible from June through December. Beyond whales, Percy Tours runs helicopter flights over Walker Bay, kayaking alongside whales and dolphins, shark cage diving at Gansbaai, wine estate tours in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Cape Point scenic drives, and cultural heritage tours in the Cape Winelands and townships. All tours are private, run in luxury vehicles, and can be customised in length and focus.
Percy's personal touch is the company's hallmark — he often guides tours himself and is known for his encyclopaedic local knowledge and warm hospitality. With consistently outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor and repeat business from visitors across 50+ countries, Percy Tours has earned a reputation as one of the top-rated private tour operators in the Western Cape.
