Reviews: Kayaking with seals

"It was brilliant. Jeanne is so enthusiastic and it is contagious. She made it a great morning out and it was a real bonus that she took and sent us photos" Read more about this whole safari

"Wonderful morning kayak trip.

We got quite close to the thousands of seals that live at Walvis Bay. Many seals had young pups. They're very loud and amusing creatures.

We also saw jackals, flamingos and other animals I can't remember the name of.

The host was very knowledgable about the area and super organised." Read more about this whole safari

"Another clear, sunny day for our day kayaking with the seals. Jeanne is a brilliant guide and very reassuring. We were not disappointed. It was a wonderful experience being so close to the seal pups and they are very familiar with tourists. Jeanne made sure we kept a respectful distance from those on the shore. All the equipment needed is provided and in addition we had a lovely sandwich, cake and coffee break. By that evening, we had already received the photographs and short videos Jeanne had taken of us." Read more about this whole safari

"This was one of the best things we did on our trip.

Didn't realize how close you get to the seals and how many there would be.

Good guide, good equipment. Highly recommend." Read more about this whole safari

"Everything was perfect, Jeanne was the best guide and host.

Kayaking with the seals was amazing even when they tried to jump on our kayak :-) On the same day, Jeanne sent us some lovely pictures and videos.

All in all a great experience and lots of fun." Read more about this whole safari

"Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. The seals were very relaxed and no sign that they were putting on a show. Many birds as well to see. Jeanne and Bernd looked after us very well and emailed pictures afterwards." Read more about this whole safari

"Just do it. On our drive to the seal colony we learnt about the local salt industry and the history of Walvis Bay.

We saw greater and lesser flamingoes, jackals and thousands of seals. The seals swam around us, jumped onto our kayaks to hitch a lift and we tickled their tummies. What a privilege. Jeanne was fantastic. She took photos and videos of our experience which she emailed to us later in the day and provided sandwiches and drinks after kayaking." Read more about this whole safari

"Great fun - especially as the baby seals were just learning to swim.!

Jean was terrific and provided us with all the gear we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning - and were amazed to receive her videos of us the same afternoon.

Thoroughly recommend it - though to some seeing quite a few dead baby seals around us on the beach was upsetting: Maybe a bit more of an explanation about how/why etc might be helpful?" Read more about this whole safari

"The guided kayaking beside a seal colony at Pelican Point was great.

It was during the breeding seasons so we were fortunate enough to see the baby seals.

We had a great guide who took photos during our kayaking and later on emailed the photos to us." Read more about this whole safari
