Reviews: Kayaking with seals

"What fun, paddling among the seals, with youngsters nibbling at the paddles. Just us four plus the guide. What is more, I had not realised how short a time the motor boats spend by the seal colony in Walvis Bay - we had two or three hours, the boats more like two or three minutes.

A waterproof bag is provided so my wife took her camera for close ups of seals and the inevitable jackal. The drive out to Pelican Point was also very interesting, as were the seabirds and dolphins we saw. This is an experience definitely not to be missed and was probably the highlight of the holiday. Angela was definitely spot on in recommending it." Read more about this whole safari

"We were picked up at the coffee house on time but there was a short delay while a payment was dealt with. Once we began the drive out to the point was interesting before we even started the kayaking.

Francoise unloaded the vehicle and explained what we were going to do and where we were going to go. He efficiently got us all into the double kayaks and off on our adventures. We had a fantastic trip with loads of dolphins and seals surrounding us throughout the trip. It was incredible!" Read more about this whole safari

"Kayaking was great. Many seals swim very close to the kayak and it is great to get such a good look at them. We also saw several dolphin." Read more about this whole safari

"A magical, well- organised kayaking trip in amongst the seals and then beyond the point into the open sea to see dolphins. The excellent guide took photos which she gave us on a disc before we left Swakopmund. Highly recommended." Read more about this whole safari

"Again a bit disorganised at the start as we had forgotten to phone and confirm we were coming but Jeanne sorted us out and was great fun to be with. The kayaking was great and I think one of the highspots of the trip. Jeanne took lots of photos and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We have reocmmended both this and the Sandwich Harbour trips to other people on their way to Swapokmund." Read more about this whole safari

"This was brilliant!

Jeanne picked us up in town and was lovely. She was very friendly and chatty, very knowledgeable about the wildllife around town, and took some great pictures of us kayaking with seals and dolphins which she emailled us later.

The seals were very inquisitive and playful - they raced us in the kayak and when they got bored of this they cooled us down by splasing us - and bizarrely sounded like sheep!

This was definitely a highlight of our trip and something we would recommend to anyone going to the Swakopmund area!" Read more about this whole safari

"This was definately one of the highlights of the trip. Jeanne is an outstanding guide and clearly knows and loves the area. The salt water pools in amazing colours (green and pink) were extraordinary, the bay beautiful and we saw flamingo, jackals and of course 100s of seals. The Kayaking was fabulous and the whole trip perfectly organised from the clothing/equipment provided, instruction provided and commentary to the welcome and warming hot coffee and picnic provided at the end. Anyone visiting Walvis Bay must do this trip!" Read more about this whole safari

"Despite the original vehicle breaking down, the experiecne overall was great. This was our first try at kayaking, you really do get in close amongst the wildlife. The leader obviously knew her stuff and as it was a small group - 6 of us - was able to spend time with each couple explaining what was happening with regard to the colonies of animals we encountered.

This trip is excellent value for money and well worth undertaking." Read more about this whole safari
