Top Namibia Kayaking & Canoeing

Highly recommend this tour. Thrilling to see the seals up close and they are undisturbed and happy with the kayaks around them. Hugo was our guide and he was interesting and engaging and we really enjoyed learning the local wildlife from him. Thank you for a great experience

We loved this tour. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Namibis. The guide was knowledgeable and the whole morning ran smoothly. We had plenty of time to watch the Cape Fur Seals and they came very close to us even biting our paddles. Definitely a m ust on your trip to Walvis Bay.

We did the Pelican Point Kayaking tour. Our guide was Hugo, who was superb in explaining the bird life and animals we saw (Pelicans, Greater Flamingoes, Black Backed Jackals, Cape Fur Seals, Black Headed Grebes and more). Hugo was also genuinely curious about each traveler and engaged in a way that made one feel you are talking to a friend (and a wise man). The tour itself was well run. Jennifer (Jenna) was the woman on the ground at Pelican Point and she knew what she was doing in making sure we were all safe on the water. The way they conduct this tour is not harmful to the seals in any way, they don't feed or touch the seals and I found that highly ethical. The stars of the show were definitely the seals, these curious creatures had so much fun checking us out (as much we had checking them out). Overall, an experience of a lifetime. Will definitely recommend.

A great experience! The fur seals got all the way to the kayak and despite my initial misgivings they were completely safe. No physical exertion (we 73 J) Unfortunately, no pelicans and dolphins to see at this time of year ☹️

Row, row, row your kayak, gently down the stream of never ending seals…What an amazing adventure we must say. We’ve gotten to know Pelican Point as if we’d grown up there ourselves - with all the small and interesting notes you need to know to feel like you really know a place. Beautiful weather surrounded our half-day-trip to meet rightly 90.000 seals, or the majority of them. Everything felt right and in time and space - our five year old still talks about the colony, the water, the beach and the exiting ride.Thank you a lot, team of Pelican Point Kayaking

Good and a must do activity in Swakopmund. The guides are helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great time kayaking with the seals at pelican point.

Truly amazing experience. Very friendly staff; CJ was very helpful and knowledgeable. Saw Flamingos, Pelicans, Jackals, a few dolphins, even one whale, and countless seals that you come extremely close too. Absolutely worth it.

Perfect hike! Great experience! Optimal organization! Highly recommended! They even organized a small breakfast after they finished kayaking!

Unforgettable Half-Day Kayaking with Seals!We had a fantastic morning in Walvis Bay. The kayak tour to the seal colony at Pelican Point was an unforgettable experience – hundreds of seals were swimming around us, some even came really close! The tour was well organized, the guides were friendly, helpful, and shared lots of interesting facts. The kayaks felt very stable and safe, even for beginners or kids. One of the highlights of our Namibia trip – highly recommended!

A unforgettable half‑day adventure that combines effortless kayaking with immersive wildlife interaction. We paddled among hundreds of playful seals, some even swam up to our kayak. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

It couldn't have gone any better. Great experience with curious and playful seals. What was just annoying was that a large group of guests was significantly delayed and you had to wait.

The pelican tour was just fantastic! SJ is an amazing guide and gave us lots of information regarding the animals and location. Would definitely recommend!

One of the most amazing experiences of my life. The team at Pelican Point Kayaking are 2nd to none. Our guide SJ regaled us with tales of growing up in Namibia but conveniently stopped along the way to point out interesting places and any wildlife such as the black backed jackal eating on the sand (SJ is worth more money). Once in the water, it was incredible! Hopefully the photos do it justice. All topped of with hot tea/coffee and sandwiches back on the beach. I can thoroughly recommend Pelican Point Kayaking for the experience of a lifetime. I would definitely do this again and again!

Sooooooo manyyyyyyy seals - even if you’ve seen seals or been in the water with them…..not this many! We were on a cruise and the company had good communication, transport and timing. SJ was a wealth of info and v interesting chap himself - ask him questions should you be lucky enough to have him as your driver! The experience was priceless. I’m coming back as a walvis bay Namibian seal if there is reincarnation cause it’s all about playing eating and sleeping :)

We had a great time. Our guide SJ came to the cruise port to pick us up and took us to the office very close to the cruise port. If you are being picked up at the cruise port, make sure you cross the bridge then WALK 200 meters to the small yellow gate by the very long fence to meet them as they cannot come in to the parking lot by the bridge. From the office SJ drove us and the kayaks to the point, the last section of the drive was on sand and it was Super fun. SJ talked to us about life in Namibia and near the sand dunes. At the point he unloaded all the kayaks and did all the work to keep us comfortable, we basically got on the kayaks on sand and he pushed us out so we don’t get wet. We were given pants and shirts to help with sun protection, as well as life vest. And kayaking with the seals was so fun. They were all around us splashing and frolicking. They were so close and kept on following the kayaks. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour for your outing. The hot tea and coffee and lunch were very welcoming after the few cold splashes in the water
