We stop at the Flamingos and view the many beautiful birds at the Lagune.. We might see Pelicans and terns. The route takes us past the pink salt lakes of the huge Salt Mine and we learn how it works. We then turn north to Pelican point ;light house where the 50 000 seals colony is. We find a suitable spot to unload the Kayaks and then peddle into the the Bay. The seals swim around the Kayaks, what an awesome experience. We serve some cool drinks and sandwiches once we are done . Then everybody helps to load the Kayaks and we slowly go back to Walvis Bay.

Brilliant experience!
I had the best morning with LeClue kayaking with the seals. The seals were super friendly and engaging - LeClue found a brilliant spot to launch and gave us clear guidance to make sure that the seals were comfortable and we weren’t intruding on them. The group was small (just me and another couple), and LeClue was so kind and friendly teaching us a lot about Namibia and made lots of stops whenever we saw anything interesting. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
Operator response
And we look forward to hearing from you again, thank you for your positive feedback. We're glad you had the best morning with Sandwich Harbour Tours.
Thank you for choosing us.

Unforgettable
One of the best experiences of our lives! Our tour guide, Stephan, was so enthusiastic to share his knowledge and to give insight into everything we passed by. We never felt unsafe - he knew what he was doing. And the seals... oh my word!! It was surreal to be so close to them and actually have them jump on the kayaks. We could not recommend this any more highly!

Stephan is the best
Stephan was a very funny but also helpful guide. We had a great experience and learned a lot. Stephan even prepared breakfast for us on a small table. That was cute.

Must Do!
We booked the full-day tour with pickup in Swakop and absolutely loved it. We had a great time both kayaking and on the trip to Sandwich Harbour. Our guide, Le Clue, was with us the whole time and taught us so much about Namibia! He also treated us to some great snacks. Le Clue was one of the best guides we’ve ever had on all our travels. Thank you so much, my Friend!
Operator response
Thanks a lot for the 5-star review! kayaking + Sandwich Harbour will forever be a famous and adventurous combo as you get to experience both land and sea in one day, from thrilling dune driving to paddling with the cute, playful and naughty seals 😁. Wonderful to hear you had such a great time in Namibia with Sandwich Harbour Tours.
Thanks

Wonderful experience!!!
It's a fascinating experience. All very well organized. Our guide Andrew has been extraordinarily attentive to us. He has given us explanations about animals, plants, geology, history... He has also taken us comfortably in the 4x4 on roads and dunes. The kayak ride with hundreds of friendly seals has been unforgettable. A dream come true!! A magnificent picnic on the way back to the coast has capped the excursion before returning to the hotel in a relaxed manner.
I recommend this activity!!
Operator response
Thank you for the 5-star warm review! glad you were impressed with the organization, picnic and tour.
