    Amazing tour, it’ll remain one of the best memories of our trip. The seals are playful, curious jumping all around you. The trip is a bit long but definitely worth it. If you’re lucky, you’d be able to see dolphins and even whales as well.

    Fantastic must do experience in Namibia! Nowhere can you get close to the seals like this, it's magical! I'll go back and do it any day of the week. The tour was perfect and it's the cheapest of the 3 operators. I got enough time to play with the seals, food was nice, guides were friendly. Easy to book online, you got 10% discount. Recommend to book in advance, but I was lucky to go on the next day.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time doing the activity however the staff that I met just tipped the scales for me. They were welcoming, kind, accomodating and hard working. The receptionist was amazing and Francois the guide was such a knowledgeable, positive and calm dude. He gave us all the info we needed and always had a smile on his face. The hot drink, muffins and sandwiches were delicious πŸ˜‹

    The kayaking tour at Pelican Point in Walvis Bay is an amazing experience and really a must-do if you are visiting this part of Namibia. The tour was well organized, the guides were great, we saw flamingoes, a pelican and a jackal on our drive to the kayaking spot on the narrow sandspit. And then came the best part - the kayaking and the interaction with the seals that live in the lagoon. There is actually very little kayaking to be done - just round the jetty and into the area on the other side where the seals are. Then you are left to your own devices for about 1 hour (the guides come and check on you periodically) and this is a perfect opportunity to get close and personal with the very friendly and inquisitive seals. They splash around, bite the oars and even jump in and on the kayak but fear not, there is no chance for the kayak to overturn so it is actually great fun. I can't remember last time I laughed so much. Totally recommended!

    Shoutout to SJ for all of the stories and information about all things Namibia and seals! We were able to see so many animals, spent a good amount of time in the water and even had an amazing lunch with sandwiches and muffins! If you can have SJ as your guide, please request! He has the most insane stories and great spirit on life!

    I have done the kayaking twice with SJ. Both times he has been the perfect guide. Well knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!

    We had a great kayaking experience with Pelican Point Kayaking. Would highly recommend doing this activity if you get the chance. Denzel was great and stopped at different points on the route explaining what we were seeing and giving some background. The coffee and snacks at the end were a nice touch.

    Our guide Jasmine was outstanding. She answered all our questions and special requests, took great care of us and showed us a few tricks. Very likeable and also professionally and personally competent. We were only more impressed by the baby seals. We will definitely visit again.

    We had such an incredible time with Pelican Point! SJ was a brilliant guide and answered all our questions. We spent a wonderful hour with the seals out on the kayaks. A must do!

    Don't miss it ! Kayaking with seals was an amazing experience! We were able to see them in their natural habitat and play with them. We even had one friendly seal that jumped on our kawak :) the staff was very friendly and gave us all the information possible. The staff was extremely helpful with us when we forgot a belonging on site ! Thanks to them again !

    A great experience kayaking amongst the seals. And our guide was super knowledgeable about the local wildlife and went out of his way to show us some of the special bird life of the area. Would highly recommend!

    Had a great experience going out of my shell and into the water. At first it felt like a leap of faith but having a great guide like SJ everything just settled in and had quite a lot of fun. Most definitely will be doing this again.

    Really great kayak trip. Meeting at the office, then short trip with the 4x4 to the kayak spot. Plenty!! of seals :).

    Great experience with Pelican Point Kayaking! Guide was knowledgable, helpful and truly cared about the environment and well being of the seals. Highly recommend.

    This experience lives up to the hype. Just look at all the reviews. They're almost all 5 star reviews for a reason. We did the half day kayaking trip in early June and we still can't stop talking about it. Naude runs an incredible experience. It starts with a really fun off-road drive out to Pelican Point. You get to drive right on the beach at high speeds and eventually come upon the seal colony on land. You are then given the option of water-proof clothes. It was warmer so I stayed in my t-shirt which worked out great. However, I highly recommend you bring flip flops to change into. We just left our shoes and socks in the van which wasn't a problem. Before you know it, you are in the water with these amazing creatures. It takes them a few minutes to warm up to you but, if you are patient, they will start to get more brave. They will play with your paddle and your boat. They are very inquisitive. If you have a GoPro and a stick, bring it! They will play with the GoPro like crazy and you will get great above and below water footage. You get almost 2 hours in the water which is great. Do not worry if you aren't experienced in kayaking. There is very little kayaking at all! You just need to get yourself out into the water and then just float there. Afterwards, you are treated to some nice sandwiches, coffee, and tea before heading back to the Bay. Naude has an incredible wealth of knowledge and really runs an excellent experience. I can't recommend him enough!

    Really great kayak tour. Once in a lifetime experience. Kayaking and playing with the seals was incredibld. Our guide, Jasmine, was really kind and have us a lot of explanations and time to take pictures. The price may seem expensive regarding the fix costs but the experience is totally worth it

  • 5/5 Sophie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Tour was excellent, Jasmine did a really great job. She made sure we got to the seals before the wind got worse and it meant we got to kayak with the seals, whereas tours that arrived later found the wind too strong. Breakfast was nice and Jasmine was very knowledgeable

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The trip with Mola Mola was fantastic. Our guide Mandela was great. The captain Conrad drove us secure through the waters os Walvis bay. We saw seals, pelicans, dolphins, flamingos (greater and lesser) and numerous other birds. The whole trip was the non plus ultra, 5 star! A special thanks to Mande...
