- Pelican Point - Our tour begins in Swakopmund, with pickups available in Walvis Bay as well. We make a stop at the Flamingos to admire the many beautiful birds at the lagoon, including possible sightings of pelicans and terns. The route takes us past the pink salt lakes of the expansive Salt Mine, where we learn about its operations. We then head north to Pelican Point Lighthouse, home to a colony of 50,000 seals. Here, we find a suitable spot to unload the kayaks and paddle into the bay. The seals swim around the kayaks, making for an incredible experience. Afterward, we serve cool drinks and sandwiches. Once finished, everyone helps load the kayaks, and we leisurely return to Swakopmund.

I had a seal on my lap - LeClue was our guide and gave us a beautiful experience. We also booked the Sandwich Harbour and Dune drive so it was a full day tour. Not only did LeClue who has great humor, share a lot, he answered every question with pleasure. He is one of the guides you enjoy spending the day with and he gives you the feeling that he loves.his job.

Kayaking with seals up close - We did the Kayak Tour at Pelican Point with Le Clue.
It was an amazing experience kayaking so close with the seals and being able to observe them up close. During the transfer Le Clue (our guide) gave us a lot of interesting insights on the Swakopmund area and Namibia in general.
We also stopped for flamingos and the salt mines with its beautiful rosa colors.
We can highly recommend it!

Great animals, great time - We had a really great trip with our guide Lectue! Lots of animals even before we have reached the seals like whales, flamingos...our guide had a great knowledge about the seals and the local wildlife. Kayaking with the seals was amazing! Lots and lots of them, very playful animals. It's a great fun to watch them so close by.

Seals, Whales & Great Humor – A Must-Do Experience! - We had an amazing time with our tour guide Stephan. He has enormous knowledge about nature and a fantastic sarcastic sense of humour, so be prepared 😉. The kayaking with the seals was refreshing and a unique opportunity to get really close to the animals. We even saw whales breaching, which made the experience extra special. A must-do when you're in Swakopmund or Walvis Bay!

Amazing experience - The experience was brilliant, so much more close up and hands on that other boat tours. It does not require any experience and cares to all levels. Stephan our guide went above and beyond, he was very knowledgeable about not only the seals and pelican point, but also the local areas and really went above and beyond.
