Half-Day Seal Kayak Adventure at Pelican Point in Walvis Bay

I highly recommend this excursion with EcoMarine. Kevin and Graham were excellent guides who provide a great experience with the seals. I was amazed at how close the seals got to us in the kayaks; they were so playful! You don't need any skill for this, and the reward is great.

We highly recommend this excursion, which is suitable for all ages and requires no physical ability! Kevin and Graham (two very likeable, committed, humorous guides) showed us and explained a lot of interesting things. Among other things, we had photo stops with the flamingos, at a pink salt lake, a shipwreck, with jackals...rain gear was provided. The seals got really close to the boats while kayaking. We saw many seal colonies and also pelicans. This excursion definitely was one of the best of our vacation.

If you do nothing else in the area (and there is a wide variety of fun and active things to do, we know)…take this tour…with this company! We just finished our kayak tour with Kevin and his assistant Wery. From booking to drop off, we had an absolutely flawless experience with professionals who are passionate and knowledgeable about what they do and excel at customer service, fun, education, and respect for the environment. The vehicle is clean and comfortable, the group is intentionally kept small, Kevin and Wery talked the entire drive to the launch site about what we were seeing out our windows, stopped for us to take photos, and explained and identified all the wildlife we encountered. They provide everything you need to stay warm, dry, and fueled (water to drink, towels, waterproof pants, windbreakers, dry bags, life jackets, boats & paddles in good condition, and a delicious light lunch afterward). Our 12-year-old was the odd man out in our family and so was paired in a kayak with Wery who took great care to make sure he had an amazing time. Today we had zero waves and unnoticeable current or wind. We weren’t paddling as much as just floating amongst the seals so it felt like very little physical exertion was required; you shouldn’t be worried about coming with children or not being strong enough. Of course the thousands of seals were the highlight of the day and there’s no more incredible way to view them than six inches away as they dance around your kayak. There’s absolutely nothing negative I could say about our day today. I couldn’t recommend this experience or company more highly!
