The Seal Kayaking & Sandwich Harbour Tour is a full day guided adventure that combines ocean wildlife and desert scenery in one trip. This tour is ideal for travelers who want an active experience in the morning and a relaxed 4×4 desert journey later in the day. It is offered at a good price, with extra savings for group bookings, and can be booked as a private or shared tour.
The Seal Kayaking & Sandwich Harbour Tour starts from Walvis Bay or Swakopmund. The day begins with a guided kayaking session at Pelican Point. No kayaking experience is needed. The water is calm, and your guide stays close to help at all times. As you paddle, Cape fur seals swim around your kayak and often come very close. This part of the tour is safe, fun, and suitable for beginners.
While kayaking, you may also see dolphins swimming nearby and many birds such as flamingos, pelicans, and other seabirds flying overhead. The morning light makes this a good time for photos and quiet moments on the water. After kayaking, there is time to rest, change clothes, and prepare for the next part of the tour.
The adventure then continues in a 4×4 vehicle as you travel across salt pans and through the Kuiseb Delta toward Sandwich Harbour. This area lies within the Namib-Naukluft National Park and is one of the few places where high sand dunes reach the Atlantic Ocean. Your guide drives carefully through the dunes, stopping for photos and short walks.
Halfway through the desert drive, a simple picnic is set up with snacks and cool drinks. This is a good time to relax and enjoy the quiet desert setting. The tour then continues with more dune driving before returning to Walvis Bay or Swakopmund.
