A thrilling experience
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

Excellent Nature Tour
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.

Great experience!
Had a great time with Martin exploring the dunes. Very thoughtful tour out to Sandwich Harbor. Saw flamingos, oryx, cormorants, and springbok along the way. Went up and down dunes to places I never dreamed you could take a vehicle. Tour never felt rushed. I highly recommend this company.

The Desert Like You've Never Seen It.
This tour was fantastic. We were fortunate to have JP as our tour guide - the owner of Red Safari Tours. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything in the Namib Desert. And he was very communicative on WhatsApp with meet up details before the tour.We loved his special touches, like having a Namibian flag for our photos and a fantastic lunch with champagne in a special place.Even when we had a vehicle snafu, he made sure we were safe and got us back to the ship on time.I highly recommend this tour!

Great experience, fantastic guide!
Absolutely amazing experience that's worth the money. Everything was very clear from the booking to the meeting. During the activity, Delano, our guide was excellent and with very good humor. He made us feel safe, really had knowledge about wildlife and the dunes there. The food stop was also excellent! I would really recommend this tour if you're in the area!

Ethical and exceptional experience
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.

Great experience
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 ☹️
