The Southern Right Whale is a migratory Whale, which means that they spend one season in one place and the rest of the year in another, traveling long distances between these seasons. In summer (December through May), they are in the cold polar regions of the Southern Hemisphere where food (mainly krill) is present in quantity. Winters (June through November) are spent around the shallow coastal waters of Southern Africa. Mossel Bay is known to experience their presence during the period of June to October.

We are adjacent to a conservation area with plenty of local birds that makes birding at Whale-Phin is a pleasure. 64 Birds species, excluding ocean birds, was identified from the guesthouse. At the beach, only 5 minutes’ walk from Whale-Phin the ocean birds, including the endangered Oyster Catcher, can be photographed. Plenty of waterbirds can be spotted at the Little Brak River estuary only 1,5Km from the guesthouse.
