Delfin- und Robbenkatamaranfahrt

A great alternative to the large boats. We had already taken several catamaran tours from Walvis Bay, but until then we had always been on large catamarans carrying up to 30 passengers. Crystel’s (highly motorized...) boat can accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers (there were eight of us on our tour), so the interaction was correspondingly personal. Great service from Crystel and her husband Dennis. And even the usual stowaway, a pelican, let itself be carried by the waves. And the usual stowaway (see picture) let itself be carried back to the harbor on the railing from the seal rocs.

Wow, what a great experience. We traveled to the seals on a catamaran and learned a lot about them and other marine life thanks to the knowledgeable guide. At the end of the tour and visit, there was a small but extremely delicious snack with fresh oysters. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. The organization by Desert and Dunes was perfect. We were picked up at the accommodation and accompanied throughout (in a positive sense).

Very nice experience, the crew left nothing to be desired, unfortunately we did not see any dolphins but this is also not the right time for it at the moment. But we had seals and pelicans on the boat, impressive!

I was at first relunctant because it was the smallest vessel among the other vessels going out to the sea. But this made the cruise more intimate with the ability to go to the shore and interact with the seals. We did not see any dolphins but, nonetheless, I had a great time with our skipper, her helper and fellow cruisers. The food, wine, and champagne were also good.

Very friendly crew. Got to see dolphins. Food was good and lovely champagne. Very windy so it was nice to cool off.

If you are in the Walvis Bay/Swapokmund area do not miss this cruise. It is truly a highlight! The staff is wonderful - I think Bernie? was our "guide". He brought a baby seal and pelican onto our boat before we even left the harbor. It was a delight to watch them eating the fish provided. We then saw the seal colonies, dolphins and the crew took us out into the ocean where we were able to experience a whale breaching several times in close proximity. The champagne and food spread was delicious. It is cool out on the water so dress appropriately - you won't want to miss a second!

Great tour - with a bit kl. Boat, so you could be very close to the robes - unforgettable - and gladly again! The oysters and food on board were really good too.

We were collected on time from our hotel and taken to and from the harbour. Great service so we did not need to do any driving. As Walvis ban be cool, the boat provided blankets for us. What a treat and life saver as it was pretty cold on the day. The trip was brilliant seeing Whales, Dolphins and seals. Some fantastic pics taken. The sherry (aka Namibian coffee) was a delight for the morning cold air. Lunch platter was delightful and had lots of oysters left over for people to have multiple helpings. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

From the walk along the promenade to jumping on the cruising catamaran and the cruise itself this was a great experience. Cruising out past the spit looking at dolphins and a pelican on the deck, to seeing whales close up further out and a visiting seal on deck, was a brilliant experience. Snacks then a meal (accompanied by sparkling wine) was the perfect finish to the day. A must do if in Swakopmund.

The cruise was really fun. The lady captain, I don't remember her name, was very entertaining and informative. We didn't see any dolphins, but we did see a whale. It all depends on luck. The food and beverage were excellent.
