Top Namibia On the Water

The Marine Desert Adventure gives you the ultimate combination of viewing our marine life on a leisure cruise on one of our luxury sailing catamarans on the Atlantic Ocean and exploring our fauna and flora with a ride in the breathtaking Sandwich Harbour Desert Area of the Namib Naukluft Park.

Sail from Walvis Bay to Pelican Point on a half-day wildlife cruise that searches for dolphins, leatherback turtles, and whales in their scenic natural habitat. A gourmet snack of oysters, sparkling wine, hot drinks, cakes, and appetizers turns the morning sail into an extra special occasion, and sailing in a catamaran means more deck space and a smoother ride than a trip by monohull boat.

A day full of adventure doesn’t lack luxury with this guided kayaking and 4x4 tour from Walvis Bay. Travel with a guide to a beautiful kayaking destination at Pelican Point Peninsula, and then head into the Namib Desert for the opportunity to explore the stunning desert landscape. A lunch of sparkling wine and oysters is the perfect pick-me-up after an action-packed day.

On our daily 3 hour morning, educational dolphin and seal cruises, you will meet pelicans, feed seals and on a lucky day, watch leaping dolphins and shy turtles.

Larger mammals such as the Southern Right Whale and Humpback Whales are often spotted whereas other Whales species, such as Gray Whale and the Pygmy Right Whale make appearances.
