Experience the desert from the ocean - A pleasant experience, well worthwhile. Expect to see seals, dolphins and pelicans from close-up. Knowledgeable crew, great snacks and drinks, and being out on the ocean provides for a unique experience. The desolation of the desert is visible from a boat on the ocean.

Cheeky seal experience. - We saw literally thousands of seals and lots of pelicans. Some of the seals are very cheeky and jump on to the boat for a selfie. Also saw flamingoes when we were being transported back. The champagne and snacks were also great.

A terrific marine safari experience - We had some friendly encounters with a pelican, seal and seagulls, and managed to see a whale. We were also served delicious refreshments throughout the cruise.

A simple but interesting trip around the bay - Very good organisation of our small.trip Picked up and brought back to our ship. So many seals from babies to oldies. Flamingoes in the distance and to top it of Jackel. Krystal and Vallem were the best and gave us a variety of food and drink including oysters for thise that wanted them. A simple easy trip but with the guidance of a very knowlegeable captain.

They took us in a small... - They took us in a small speedboat not a catamaran as stated on the description of the tour, we were 14 people and not enough even standing room for all of us. We did see lots of seals and a few pelicans and the two crew members on board were pleasant and cheerful. Overall, an ok experience

Fun Trip til end. - People on the boat were fantastic and very helpful. We really enjoyed the boating experience. The transportation back to ship was disorganized and the ride back, the vehicle lost its brakes and transmission ability which we almost crashed but by the grace of God did not hit another vehicle. Then we sat for almost a half an hour waiting for another vehicle to return us. Left a very sour taste in our mouth after a good boating experience. The other complaint is about the customs and hoops you have to jump through to get into the country of Namibia and pay a fee of $19 a person. Might as well skip that destination on this cruise route from Royal Caribbean. This will be our first let down of Viators which we use all the time. I hope this isn’t things to come.

Unfortunately, not well organized. - Unfortunately there was no coffee and tea in the morning. There was little information about the animals and not enough seats in the boat. In case of bad weather, some guests must stand/sit on the deck. The food was accessible to the people in the boat. Those who sit outside could only go badly. There were not enough champagne glasses for all guests.
