Pelican Point Kayaking & 4X4 Drive

OVERVIEW

Cruise across Walvis Bay in a catamaran for a kayaking adventure from Pelican Point and return in a 4x4 vehicle that’s ideal for negotiating the salt pans and sand dunes. While cruising, you will enjoy spectacular views of Walvis Bay and the surrounding natural areas. As you will notice even before disembarking, long slender Pelican Point is a haven for wildlife. Thousands of Cape fur seals frolic in the sea and along the coast, bottlenose and Heaviside’s dolphins often breach the water’s surface and seabirds are seemingly everywhere, especially pelicans, cormorants and petrels. Chances are, you will be treated to an even closer look at the bountiful marine life and wildlife while kayaking through the typically calm waters. A different sort of adventure awaits once you hop in the 4x4 vehicle and race off across the salt pans, along Donkey Bay. The views along the way will be absolutely magnificent.
