Optional Excursions

Experience even more of your destination by adding one or more optional excursions to your holiday before you set off. Take a look below at the extra trips you can enjoy on this tour.

Dolphin and Seal Catamaran Cruise

Dolphin and Seal Catamaran Cruise

Depart Walvis Bay Yacht Club and head out into the beautiful bay area, which holds more splendour than can at first be seen – a shipwreck, lighthouse, oyster platforms, different bird species, seals and an abundance of marine life. In the bay area, the catamaran (occasionally this tour may be operated by a slightly smaller vessel) will move alongside the oyster platforms and your guide will share more information with you about locally cultivated Walvis Bay oysters – a tasting is included. We'll then head to Pelican Point for a closer look at the lighthouse. It is here that you will hopefully see three different types of dolphins, namely the heaviside dolphins – endemic to the Namibian coast, dusky dolphins and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. In season (July-November), the larger mammals like the southern right whale and humpback whales may be spotted. With a bit of luck, the mighty killer whales (orcas) might make an appearance. All this can be experienced comfortably, whilst relaxing in the saloon or on the deck, enjoying a glass of sparkling wine and delicious snacks.

Please note: This excursion cannot be combined with the Living Desert 4x4 Dune Adventure optional excursion
