"Jeanne drove us to the lighthouse on the far side of the lagoon at Wallis Bay for our kayaking trip, filling us in about the area, wildlife and salt mining along the way. It was a wonderful experience with lots of time to enjoy the seals and many flamingoes and other birds in the lagoon. She captured some great photos and videos for us. Hot coffee and sandwiches were very welcome at the end of a rather cool, misty two hour kayak.
We really liked Walvis Bay and spent a bit more time at the end down on the promenade by the lagoon watching the hundreds of flamingoes which were gathered there." Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne was an absolutely spectacular guide! She even sent us videos of our kayaking experience that evening. It is clear that she loves the seals and she knows so much about them. Her stories were engrossing and very informative. This excursion was one of the highlights of our whole trip!"

"Kayaking amongst the seals was amazing! Words cannot adequately explain this experience. There are so many seals and the paddling was very easy.
A nice touch was Jeanne videoing us in the boat with the seals so that we have a great reminder of this activity." Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne Meintjes who runs Eco Marine Kayak Tours is a most charming, personal woman, with a lot of information. Today I am her only booking. Normaly, with only one person to go, she canceled the tour, But because I have made the booking so early she decided to go. Super!!
Driving for a long time over a sandy plain we reached the sea (Pelican Point), where a few curious seals stick there heads out of the water. What a good start. With from Jeanne got waterproof clothing we went into the water in the direction of a sealcolony.
What a fun!!!! The seals frisk around the kayak and playfully try to bite into the stirrer. Listen to the sound of the colony on the beach, to look at them and see the seals around the kayak makes me very happy!!!
A group of flamingos walks into the surf. What else do you want?
So do it!!!" Read more about this whole safari

"Fun kayaking with seals!"
Based at Sam's Giardino on 25 May 2016
"We never imagined how playful the seals would be and how close they would come to your kayak. What a fun experience! They nibble on your paddle and even your hand! The time simply flew by!
Jeanne is a wonderful lady - very friendly and energetic! She reassured all guests on how to respond to the seals behaviour, especially those who had never kayaked before.
Kayaks all good quality.
The photos and videos she took are a great way to remember our experience. All provided for free! We wish her the best with her business!
Breakfast was simple but tasty (sandwiches and hot drinks)!
Unfortunately Jeanne's truck broke down on our journey home but a friendly competitor came to our rescue!" Read more about this whole safari
