    The experience

    Tour Overview

    A seal in the water moves very fast. Faster than you think. It shoots under your kayak like a dark shadow. Then it pops up next to you and looks straight at you. That is what kayaking with seals feels like. Near Walvis Bay, thousands of Cape fur seals live along the coast. You can paddle right among them. They are wild animals, but they are very curious. They come to you. You do not need to chase them.

    Step by step

    Your itinerary flow

    The Kayaking Part of the Tour

    The sea kayaking happens near Pelican Point. This is a long thin strip of sand at the edge of Walvis Bay. A huge seal colony lives here. There are thousands of them on the beach and in the water.

    Your guide gives you a kayak. Single or double, your choice. They show you how to paddle. They give you a helmet and a life jacket. You do not need to know how to kayak before this tour. The guide teaches you everything you need.

    Once you are on the water, the seals come close. Some swim right under your boat. Some jump up and look at you. Dolphins sometimes appear near the outer part of the bay. The water is cold because of the Benguela Current. This cold water is full of fish, which is why so many seals and birds live here. But you stay dry in your kayak.

    The Sandwich Harbour Part of the Tour

    After kayaking, you get into a 4×4 car. Your guide drives you south to Sandwich Harbour. The drive takes about 45 minutes along the coast.

    At Sandwich Harbour, everything is different. It is quiet. It is big. The sand dunes rise over 100 metres and drop straight into the Atlantic Ocean. You were just paddling on that same ocean. Now you are high above it.

    The lagoon here has flamingos. The dunes give amazing views. The guide shows you the best spots to stand and look.

    Who Is This Tour For

    Anyone who wants to be active and see wildlife up close. You do not need to be strong or fit. Most people of most ages can do this.

    May to October is the best time. Sea conditions are calmer then.

    If you want to spend more time at Pelican Point and learn about what lives there, look at the Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point tour.

    "We did the Sandwich Harbour sunset tour with People Tour and Safaris. Our guide was Peter. The desert, the sea, de colors, the adventures and the dunes meeting the Atlantic Ocean, this is exactly what brought us to Namibia. We had really high expectations, and it didn't disappoint. Peter was magnificent. A proficient driver, knew the desert like the back of his hand, knowledgeable, fun, and in general very interesting to be around. He knew when and how to push it to make us feel the rush and took us to very beautiful viewpoints. Even the food and drinks he gave us were amazing. We'll be back, and we definitely want to do this again with Peter."

The views were stunning, the stories were fascinating, and the lunch was wonderful. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A huge thank you to Lucas for making it such a memorable experience!"
