"What a wonderful morning"
Based at The Stiltz on 30 Sep 2009
"Excellent excellent excellent - a great experience we wouldn't have missed. Jeanne is very well organised and knowledgeable. On the way to the point, driving through the salt pans she spent time pointing out all the birds. On arrival at pelican point we were quickly kitted out and were told about the workings of the canoe. We went out to sea to find the dolphins and then returned to Jeannes seal colony where we spent the most wonderful hour with the young fur seals which came up to the canoe, played with the paddles and some even let you touch them. The sound and smell was unbelievable!!!!!!
When we landed sandwiches and hot coffee were provided and we drove back via the salt pans and more bird watching.
Jeanne gives everyone a great experience and a very full morning. This trip should not be missed." Read more about this whole safari

"Kayaking to Pelican Point review"
Based at Cornerstone Guesthouse on 9 Jul 2009
"We chose not to go on our tour of Pelican Point because felt like our time in Swapkomund was too scheduled and we needed a break. If we'd gone on the tour in the morning, as we'd planned, we felt we might not make it back in time to make our drive to Windhoek in a relaxed manner."

"Kayaking with seals"
Based at Sam's Giardino on 30 May 2009
"We had originally wanted to do the longer (all morning) trip but, because of a shortage of time because of long drive up to Doro Nawas meant that we onld had time for 2 hour trip. Neverthess, this was very pleasant and relaxing experience with our guide Francois who we found easy to chat to about various issues Namibian. Unfortunately, we couldn't get as close to the flamingoes as we would have liked but, all in all, atrip to be recommended."

"Whatever you do - do not miss this unbelievable experience of being so close to nature via this excellent activity.
The chance to be so close to dolphins and baby seals is one that will live for us for the rest of our lives.
The best activity we did on the whole holiday.
The whole activity was superbly run by Jeanne whose relaxed laid back approach added to the whole experience." Read more about this whole safari

"Sea Kayaking with seal at Pelican Point"
Based at Secret Garden Guesthouse on 17 Sep 2008
"Just us with Jeanne. What fun for us and it seemed for the seals too. Interesting lady who obviously loves what she does and this enthusiasm comes through to her clients.
It would have been worth knowing that she supplies warm clothing, wet shoes, wet glooves, if you want them. We had taken stuff with us which turned out not to be necessary. Also useful to know that she has a choice of double or single kayaks for those less confident paddlers." Read more about this whole safari
