Take a short transfer by coach to Walvis Bay Waterfront.
Meet your local guide and embark on your awaiting Planning Catamaran for a short marine cruise from the waterfront to Pelican Point Peninsula, where a large seal colony and schools of dolphins, which often swim alongside the boats, provide entertainment. Dolphins sighted are the Heavy side and Bottlenose.
For the bird lovers, apart from seeing many flamingos (seasonal), pelicans and cormorants, there are also common sightings of the White Chinned Petrel, Wilson’s Storm Petrel, Cape Gannet, Black Oystercatcher etc.
Launch directly onto Pelican Point Beach where you will disembark the catamaran followed by a short beach walk to the Kayak Base. You will have to climb down a short ladder to the beach, so individuals must be physically capable of this.
Pelican Point is home to up to 50 000 Cape Fur Seals all year round. They are very friendly and playful and not scared of the Kayaks, even when you paddle right next to them. The seals are inquisitive and often come within touching distance of the kayaks. Spend approximately 45min – 1 hour exploring the area by Kayak.
Return to Pelican Point Beach for some hot or cold refreshments and time to relax and take in the experience.
Next, you will be picked up from the beach by guided 4x4 vehicles for an exciting drive exploring the Saltpans, Donkey Bay and Lagoon Wetlands, ending your morning on top of a Saltpan Dune overlooking the Salt Pans and flamingo’s.
Return to Walvis Bay Harbour to embark your awaiting cruise ship.
