Namibia Kayak Tours offer a half day, eco friendly, kayaking experience with the Cape Fur Seals and when the season is right dolphins, whales and the illusive Mola-Mola (Sunfish) make an appearance. With no prior experience required both young and old can benefit from this excursion of a lifetime. On the 60 min scenic drive out to the Pelican Point peninsula, where your kayaking adventure begins, our guides enlighten you with an abundance of knowledge about the diverse wildlife that the Walvis Bay coast provides. Our very stable sit on top double kayaks give you ease of mind on the water where we rarely experience large swells. We supply water resistant clothing and dry bags for your cameras as the seals do love to splash. Weather permitted we kayak for +- 1.5 hours after which a picnic on the beach can be enjoyed before we make our way back to Walvis Bay via the salt mines.

If you're looking to experience nature truly at its rawest, Cape Cross Seal Reserve is your place. If you're squeamish or dislike the smell, the sight, or even the idea of death, the reserve is not your place. Cape Cross Seal Reserve is home to tens of thousands of cape fur seals--mamas giving birth, pups being crushed, males and females mating, males fighting each other--and depending on what time of year you're there, you can see (and smell) a massive amount of death. Death is not pretty, and it doesn't smell good. In fact, it smells vile, and my scarf-turned-mask reeked for the next 12 hours until I could thoroughly wash it. That said, that's how nature works. If you read the placards in the reception house, or the one-page brochure also available at reception, you will learn that the seals here have mostly achieved homeostasis. The only threat, not surprisingly, is humans. Otherwise, the seals live this way and it's normal, natural, and exactly how it should be. To that point, I disagree with the reviewers who think the reserve should be better maintained. For example, to the reviewer who thinks the walkway should be hosed off every day, yes, that would be nice for the human visitors, but how annoying for the seals. They live, play, fight, and nap under and next to the walkway, so hosing it down every day would disturb their lives more than we humans already do just by walking on it (and yes, I know I'm guilty of intruding on their home turf, but I try to be as minimally invasive as possible, and I prefer to keep nature like this as natural as possible). This is a wildlife reserve, not a zoo. These animals are wild, and they live--and die--according to nature. If you don't want to see that, then don't go. If you want to go to a place with freshly hosed walkways, go to a zoo (and then complain, no doubt, about this mistreatment of the animals there, and how they're kept in little cages and aquariums and the like). And to the reviewers who complain about a lack of information and/or guides, I'm willing to bet that a) you didn't read the placards at reception and/or take the paper at reception that has a good deal of information about the seals, and b) you have a smartphone with Googling capabilities. Do you really want to stand around reading signs in this place you think is so horrible and smelly and unmaintained? While the animal lover in me was sad to see so many dead seal pups--and the nose-breather in me was somewhat horrified to smell that amount of death--the wildlife lover in me thought it was an incredibly raw, unique, and interesting experience. We even saw a pup seconds after it was born, three gulls fighting over the placenta, and mama nursing newborn and fending off nosy neighbors. Pretty unforgettable, I'd say. (We also saw a jackal lingering nearby).
