We have a maximum weight of 110 kg per paddler.

Bring comfortable clothing. We are not doing a marathon, but a bit of paddling will keep us warm during kayaking. We sometimes get a bit wet out there, especially when our seals are in a splashy mood. We will give you waterproof pants and jackets to make sure your own clothes stay dry. It's easiest to kayak barefoot. Bring a hat and sunscreen

Disabilities can be a challenge, but they do not necessarily exclude you from kayaking with us. Let us know about your situation, and we will see what we can do.

What to Do If You Are Bitten by a Seal We want all our visitors to have a safe, enjoyable experience observing seals. These are wild animals and while bites are very uncommon, knowing what to do helps everyone stay protected—and reassured. 1. Are seal bites something to worry about? Seal bites are typically minor, but any bite can carry bacteria or viruses that may lead to infection. Seals know their way around the ocean—so it’s best to treat even small bites with care. 2. Do I need to see a doctor? Yes—always. Even a small bite should be checked by a doctor who knows it came from a seal, because these bites can carry uncommon bacteria or viruses. 3. What about rabies? Rabies in seals is extremely rare. In Namibia, there has only ever been one recorded case, confirmed in 2025 in the Walvis Bay Lagoon. However, because rabies is a serious disease, anyone bitten or scratched by any wild animal including seals must have a post-exposure vaccination, as a precaution. This is a standard medical measure to ensure complete safety, even though the actual risk is extremely low. This vaccine is 100% successful. 4. How can I avoid bites? Keep a respectful distance from seals. Never try to touch or feed them. Always follow your guide’s instructions and signage. 5. Should I tell my guide? Yes! Let your guide know immediately. They can help clean the wound, get medical attention if necessary, and document the incident to help keep everyone safe. We appreciate your awareness and support in protecting both visitors and wildlife. Enjoy your time watching these wonderful animals—sensibly and safely!

The drive to Pelican Point takes roughly one hour and includes a few stops along the way for pictures and some general information on the area. You are welcome to follow us in your own 4x4 if want to drive on the beach yourself.

No and no. Our kayaking excursion is a scenic tour, not a sports event. General health is a must, please let us know if you have any particular condition that might affect your kayaking abilities, like a pregnancy or immobility.

Yes, 3 years. Departures with small children are strictly weather depending and we reserve the right to stop the tour immediately if we feel any kind of threat or danger. We have life jackets for small children. Small children can be seated on a kiddies' seat between the parents. Our own children have kayaked with us since the age of 2.

You need to wear a life jacket at all times when kayaking with us, different sizes are available. We always carry a waterproof radio to be connected to our office in Walvis Bay, and we are in cell phone range most of the time, if we ever have an emergency.

Good question - our weather is very unpredictable. We check all available forecasts, but there is always a chance of error. If the weather is too rough, Naude will make the call and cancel.

We bring brötchen, coffee, tea along to get our energy back after kayaking. Please don't forget to eat something before the tour as we might burn a bit of energy on the water. Please let us know if you are vegetarian.

There are NO dangerous sharks around. We have Bronze Whalers, but they feed on octopus and squid, not seals, and definitely not kayakers. There have never been any incidents between humans and sharks in Namibia. Ever.

Absolutely. We will see plenty of birds and other animals on our way to Pelican Point. Bring a dry bag along if you want to take it on the water for you.

Please meet us at the Walvis Bay Waterfront. Our office is located on top of the Jettyshoppe. It takes 45 minutes to reach is from Swakopmund.
