"Kayaking with seals review"

Based at Cornerstone Guesthouse on 25 Sep 2024
"This was a morning trip.

They drive you to the seals from a coffee shop in Walvis Bay. The guides were very informative and the whole activity was well organised.

The seals are great - there is a huge colony and the younger seals are fascinated by the kayaks so will swim right up to you, nibble on your paddles and one even tried to climb on board our kayak!
You get plenty of time in the kayak and it was all very safe.

As well as the seals we saw many flamigos and some jackals.

All in all a memorable experience." Read more about this whole safari

"A fantastic and emotional experience "

Based at Cornerstone Guesthouse on 17 Sep 2024
"It seems to take a long time to get to the seals but it is so worth it. The kayaking is not in the least strenuous, more a case of floating around among inquisitive youngsters. They are very photogenic! Lunch was provided and was more than adequate.

The drive there and back was interesting, passing the salt pans and 000’s of flamingoes, lesser numbers of many other birds as well. We did see just one pelican even though we on Pelican Point!" Read more about this whole safari

"This was a highlight of our 24 days in Namibia.

We were a little nervous about the kayaking aspect, but it was perfectly safe, and we really enjoyed interacting with the baby seals. And the guides were excellent.

Highly recommend this activity." Read more about this whole safari

"Drive out to the kayaking location was very informative and had some good bird sightings.

Seals didn’t come as close to our group as some others seem to have experienced on previous trips but still had a good time." Read more about this whole safari

"We all loved this. Eco-Marine were lovely and really care about the local environment and animal welfare.

The seal pups come into the water to interact with the kayakers and were so playful. We had several seals jump on and hitch a ride.

They gave us a simple but lovely lunch. A great day out - our daughters loved it." Read more about this whole safari
