Optional Private Excursions

Avoid the crowds and hustle and bustle associated with a group activity. For a memorable trip ashore, we invite you to consider a private shore excursion. Enjoy the undivided attention of your own driver/guide and the flexibility of experiencing the aspects of the local culture that most interest you. Below are just some samples of the private shore excursions we can arrange for you. Let us personalize your experience!

Marine Cruise
Depart from the Walvis Bay Yacht Club and cruise into the beautiful and sheltered bay area, home to a shipwreck, lighthouse, oyster platforms, different bird species, seals and an abundance of marine life to mention a few.

The Catamaran will move along the oyster platforms where your guide will share more information about Walvis Bay’s own cultivated oysters, delicacies which you will later get to taste. The journey proceeds to the ever-growing Pelican Point for a closer look at the lighthouse and resident seal colony. The old supply railway spoors can still be seen from the years when the lighthouse was occupied by the coast guards.

Moving around the point, a variety of marine life may be
encountered, these include Benguela Dolphins, Dusky
Dolphins, Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, Mola Mola (Sunfish) and Leatherback Turtles. Enjoy the array of sights and sounds whilst relaxing in the saloon, on the trampolines or on the deck with a glass of sparkling wine, local oysters and delicious snacks and drinks.
