Dolphins Tours In Walvis Bay

browse (1 / 3)

From Dune 7 sand dune to the haunting Skeleton Coast and the vast open plains of Etosha teeming with game, Namibia is a land of striking contrasts and stunning imagery. A trip to Namibia, be it to 4x4 the Skeleton Coast or to visit the Etosha Pan, is incomplete without enjoying the Dolphin Tours in Walvis Bay ('Whale Bay').

Boats make their way in the lagoon of Walvis Bay to Bird Island, an artificial island created to fuel the guano-collecting project established on the island, in the early morning. As the boat makes its way to Pelican Island, inquisitive seals swim alongside the boat in the hope that visitors hand out boat-side snacks. The boat makes its way to Pelican Point, teeming with dolphins and seals. The silver shimmer of Heavyside and Bottlenose dolphins playfully ducking and diving in and out of the water is an unforgettable experience.

Birdlife in the lagoon is teeming: flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, white chinned petrel, Wilson's storm petrel, Cape gannet, black oystercatchers and charismatic jackass penguins can be spotted boat side. Enjoy the views out to sea and inland to the spectacular sand dunes. Afterwards, visit an enchanted beach, the site of a haunting shipwreck, to enjoy a lunch of oysters, sausage, meats, fresh fruit, fresh bread and champagne. The waters of Walvis Bay are protected by Pelican Point, and they teem with plankton and marine life, making the bay ideal for game fishing, with the chance of catching cob, steenbras, blacktail, galjoen and a variety of shark.
