Reviews: Kayaking with seals

"Kayaking amongst the seals was amazing! Words cannot adequately explain this experience. There are so many seals and the paddling was very easy.

A nice touch was Jeanne videoing us in the boat with the seals so that we have a great reminder of this activity." Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne Meintjes who runs Eco Marine Kayak Tours is a most charming, personal woman, with a lot of information. Today I am her only booking. Normaly, with only one person to go, she canceled the tour, But because I have made the booking so early she decided to go. Super!!

Driving for a long time over a sandy plain we reached the sea (Pelican Point), where a few curious seals stick there heads out of the water. What a good start. With from Jeanne got waterproof clothing we went into the water in the direction of a sealcolony.

What a fun!!!! The seals frisk around the kayak and playfully try to bite into the stirrer. Listen to the sound of the colony on the beach, to look at them and see the seals around the kayak makes me very happy!!!

A group of flamingos walks into the surf. What else do you want?

So do it!!!" Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne Meintjes was the perfect hostess for this activity with her infectious good humour and obvious enjoyment of the whole experience. We had expected to just go kayaking, but instead spent a couple of delicious hours sitting on the water and playing with (mainly young) seals which surrounded us on every quarter. The seals were not shy in interacting with us and the whole experience (despite the mist and fog) was delightful. Definitely to be recommended. Jeanne even fed us rolls and coffee afterwards. The drive around the lagoon with its wonderful bird life and route past the large saltworks was, in itself, special." Read more about this whole safari

"We never imagined how playful the seals would be and how close they would come to your kayak. What a fun experience! They nibble on your paddle and even your hand! The time simply flew by!
Jeanne is a wonderful lady - very friendly and energetic! She reassured all guests on how to respond to the seals behaviour, especially those who had never kayaked before.
Kayaks all good quality.
The photos and videos she took are a great way to remember our experience. All provided for free! We wish her the best with her business!
Breakfast was simple but tasty (sandwiches and hot drinks)!
Unfortunately Jeanne's truck broke down on our journey home but a friendly competitor came to our rescue!" Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne is an excellent guide. Her photos / film service is above and beyond what I expect on a guided excursion.

In addition to the seals we saw hundreds of flamingos, pelicans, and a few dolphins." Read more about this whole safari

"Craig was a very good guide and we had a most enjoyable morning with him, first of all birding on the drive out to Pelican Point and then the kayak trip amongst the seals.

"The trip is a great way to get up close with the seal colonies in Walvis bay and potentially even see some dolphins. However the actual amount of kayaking is limited and you don't see much else." Read more about this whole safari
