Great Time on the Sea with the Seals - I was at first relunctant because it was the smallest vessel among the other vessels going out to the sea. But this made the cruise more intimate with the ability to go to the shore and interact with the seals. We did not see any dolphins but, nonetheless, I had a great time with our skipper, her helper and fellow cruisers. The food, wine, and champagne were also good.

An Experience Not To Be Missed! - If you are in the Walvis Bay/Swapokmund area do not miss this cruise. It is truly a highlight! The staff is wonderful - I think Bernie? was our "guide". He brought a baby seal and pelican onto our boat before we even left the harbor. It was a delight to watch them eating the fish provided. We then saw the seal colonies, dolphins and the crew took us out into the ocean where we were able to experience a whale breaching several times in close proximity. The champagne and food spread was delicious. It is cool out on the water so dress appropriately - you won't want to miss a second!

Lovely experience - We were collected on time from our hotel and taken to and from the harbour. Great service so we did not need to do any driving. As Walvis ban be cool, the boat provided blankets for us. What a treat and life saver as it was pretty cold on the day. The trip was brilliant seeing Whales, Dolphins and seals. Some fantastic pics taken. The sherry (aka Namibian coffee) was a delight for the morning cold air. Lunch platter was delightful and had lots of oysters left over for people to have multiple helpings. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

Special experience - From the walk along the promenade to jumping on the cruising catamaran and the cruise itself this was a great experience. Cruising out past the spit looking at dolphins and a pelican on the deck, to seeing whales close up further out and a visiting seal on deck, was a brilliant experience. Snacks then a meal (accompanied by sparkling wine) was the perfect finish to the day. A must do if in Swakopmund.

A whale of a time - The cruise was really fun. The lady captain, I don't remember her name, was very entertaining and informative. We didn't see any dolphins, but we did see a whale. It all depends on luck. The food and beverage were excellent.
