“We were very fortunate to spend a whole day with our guide Leclou – and it was simply fantastic! We were picked up at the lodge on time in the morning, and Leclou impressed us with his knowledge, openness, and humor on the way there. The morning was all about the seal colonies: after a short introduction, we took to the water in kayaks – complete with rain gear and cell phone pouches, which was very well organized! It was great fun to "play in the water" with the curious seals. The young animals in particular came very close – an experience we will never forget. One of the guides…”

“Abbiamo trascorso una splendida giornata, vedere le otarie che niotano intorno a te e salgono sul kayak non ha prezzo! I panoramo delle dune che finiscono nell' oceano è davvero mozzafiato e divertirsi a scalarle sua a piedi che con l'auto in discese adrenaliniche è stato super! Massima attenzione alle nostre esigenze; bevande sempre disponibili e biscotti, spuntino e pranzo allestiti sulla sabbia. Abbiamo visto sciacalli, struzzi, springbok. Armand, davvero gentile, ci ha fatto foto splendide e raccontato molte cose interessanti sulla formazione della soiaggia e dei suoi abitanti. Lo consiglio vivamente, giornata intensa e ricca di emozioni trascorsa immersi nella natura.”
Kayak with Cape Fur Seals at Walvis Bay, then enjoy a beach brunch with fresh Namibian oysters and sparkling wine.
“Zeer toeristisch. Veel mensen met veel verschillende touroperators op dezelfde plek. Catamaran, speedboten, kajaks door elkaar. We vertrokken 50 min te laat, maar wij stonden dus al 70 min te wachten. Daardoor werd er geraced naar de bestemming; geen enkele stop gemaakt om uit te stappen voor uitleg en foto’s van de zoutwinning, flamingo’s, pelikanen, landschap. Zeer korte ingestudeerde zinnen werden door de auto geroepen; slecht te verstaan. Het kayakken zelf was leuk, maar kort. Lunch zag er goed uit, maar koude gehaktballetjes etc hadden beetje warm moeten zijn of maak andere hapjes. Oesters waren lekker. Terug op geplande tijdstip omdat volgende tour moest beginnen, dus verloren tijd aan...”
