On the 60-minute scenic drive to the Pelican Point peninsula, where your kayaking adventure begins, our guides will enlighten you with a wealth of knowledge about the diverse wildlife of the Walvis Bay coastline. Our very stable double kayaks sit on the water where we rarely experience big waves. We supply waterproof clothing and pack sacks for your cameras as the seals like to splash. In good weather we go + – 1,5 hours by kayak. Afterwards you can enjoy a picnic on the beach before we drive back to Walvis Bay via the salt mines. https://www.namibia-kayak-tours.com/
