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.

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.

An excellent combination of adventure, fun and learning - Very luckily I had Stephan as my tour guide! He knows a lot of things about Namibia and shares them readily. Stephan is also very experienced, knows exactly what to do and avoids taking unnecessary risks. Additionally he also has a very good sense of humor, adding to the tour even more fun. The tour itself is very nicely scheduled, no rush, enough time to enjoy the kayaking with the seals, eat a breakfastand, enjoy some beverages and also make on the way a few stops for photos, where allowed. Stephan also stopped for photos and explaining interesting things we saw on the way, like a whale bone on the shore. The tour is suited for adventurous people as well as nature lovers who want a genuine experience and close encounter with seals. Petting or touching the seals should not be done though, they are still wild animals! Waterproof/splashproof clothing was provided by Stephan, nevertheless it's adviseable to bring a second set of clothes along as some mischievous seas love splashing around and making people wet. Thank you very much for the great tour, Stephan! 👏👍
Unfortunately, i have only videos of the seals on my camera, so I can't upload them. But perfect shots are guaranteed on this tour with Stephan 😉

Great day kayaking! Loved seeing the seals - Had a great time doing the seal kayaking! Our guide Volker was very knowledgeable about the area, the animals, and Namibia in general, we really enjoyed having him do the tour with us. The seals were cute and we got to see thousands of their new baby pups since we did it in January which was super fun! We would definitely this tour to anyone else staying in Swakopmund or Walvis Bay. It is very nice not having to drive on the sand since you need to deflate and then reinflate your tires afterwards plus it looks hard to drive on generally.
I would also recommend the sandwich harbor tour combined package, we just did that as part of another tour with the same company the day prior

Kayaking with the Seals - I had a great experience, our guide LeClue was exceptional, on the drive to Pelican Point, he gave us a glimpse into the culture and the history of Namibia. We got to see so much more, the flamingos, the salts and learnt a lot about Seals. I enjoyed the tour so very much, will definitely be back for more!!! Thank you very much ❤️

We couldn't have had a better day nor a better guide. They brought Namibia to life for us. - In our minds, this was as good as it gets, and we have had dozens of guides and private tours around the globe. Stephan had a near encyclopedic knowledge of Namibia, of the seals, the salt flats, flamingos and Namibian culture making this one of the best trips of our African journey. We paddle among the playful seals, bent down to see the slivers of diamonds in the sand, and marveled at the salt flats from atop small dunes. And he even packed a spread of breakfast/lunch foods and ice cold beverages. We don't leave reviews to be the good guys. We hope this helps you select someone reputable for your day in this fantastic country. Half day tour. Excellent company and excellent guide. Wear a broad hat, too!
