• Cape Cross - We pass by and learn about The Orania Desalinization Plant, including its construction and purpose. We then move past Wlotska’s Backen, a local holiday resort, and discover its origins. We stop to walk through a Lichen Field, exploring how these tiny lichens survive in such arid conditions. Our journey continues to the Zeila shipwreck and then to Henties Bay, where we enjoy a light lunch platter. The route takes us past the Gallows monument, which has been modified, and onward to the Cape Cross seal colony, where Diego erected a marble cross. A walkway allows us to get close to thousands of seals. After spending time photographing these charming animals, we reluctantly head home.
• Zeila Shipwreck - We stop on the way to Cape Cross between Swakopmund and Henties Bay to see the Zeila Shipwreck in the sea.
• Wlotzkasbaken - We pass by various vacation houses located along the shore between Swakopmund and Henties Bay.
• Gallows Monument - Here, you will see the Gallows Monument, erected in 1978 as a plea to keep the beach clean.

We offer a light lunch in the desert, unique and quiet. The Skeleton Coast presents harsh desert conditions and unique plant life, such as tiny lichens and fog-sustained plants. You can also see shipwrecks, jackals, and thousands of seals at the site where Diego erected the first cross during his 1493 voyage in search of a route around Africa. This is a must-see location to witness thousands of Cape Fur Seals. If you wish to see more shipwrecks, you should book the full-day Shipwreck Tour, which extends another 200 km further north.
