Great experience, seals up close - The team is great, the organization perfect, so everything is fine. We really had a lot of fun and experiencing the seals up close was wonderful. Attention: You get clothes, but they don't stop the water that the seals splash during their jumps around the kayak. So be sure to bring spare pants so that you don't have to sit in the wet when you drive back!

Kayak, seal, dolphin, jackal, flamingo, pelican, salt mine, SJ, and so much more - We fully agree with the positive comments. Our local Guide SJ gave us extensive explanations throughout the trip, both about the fauna and about life in Namibia. We came for the kayaking but got a lot on top of it. Besides the seals we could also spot dolphins from our boat. After the trip there was also plenty of time for a hot drink and sandwiches! Nice experience.

Impressive Kajaking Tour in the bay with experienced guide - We went on a kajaking tour with SJ. The tour was amazing and the knowledge of the Guide very impressive. We learnt a lot about the different animals and the bay. He was also very engaged in rescuing a stranded whale, showing his devotion to nature and animals. We hope that soon better Equipment for whale rescues will be available. Thank You for the amazing das SJ

Super fun tour! - The kayaking tour was fabulous. I have ever seen so many playful seals together, interacting with us. The tourguide (SJ) informed us about the area, the flamingos, surfing, seals and more and managed to drive us through some pretty tricky terrain to pelican point. Would definitely reccommend!
