Discovering Walvis Bay

Walvis Bay, a pretty coastal town in Namibia, offers wonderful dolphin cruises on the Atlantic Ocean. Guests can spot the pink Walvis Bay flamingos at the lagoon or enjoy water activities.

Dolphin Cruise and Bird-watching in Walvis Bay, Namibia

This is the perfect activity for animal and bird lovers in Namibia! You will cruise the beautiful Walvis Bay lagoon accompanied by pelicans and seagulls that fly alongside your boat. There are common sightings of cormorants and the Black Oystercatcher. Your skipper will take you to the multitude of flamingos and wait for some of them to start to fly and to reveal the beautiful dark pink of the feathers underneath their wings.

During the Dolphin Cruise in Walvis Bay, Namibia, it is likely that seals will be attracted and come to your boat in search of food. You may even be lucky to have one of them come up to sit with you in the catamaran. Haviside Dolphins, endemic to this Namibian area, and Bottlenose Dolphins will look out of the crystal clear water and jump happily next to your boat.

If you are lucky, you can even spot some Leatherback Turtles. Large amounts of plankton attract the name-giving whales to the Walvis Bay lagoon between August and October.

Dolphin Cruise boats leave the harbour at 9am and will make their way to Bird Island. The trip includes delicious snacks and drinks. The Walvis Bay Dolphin Cruise in Namibia is also available as a private charter with two passengers minimum and 18 maximum. On this private trip you will be spoilt with fresh oysters and champagne. A picnic on the beach can be pre-booked.

Water Sports on the Walvis Bay Lagoon

Try water sports like boardsailing or waterskiing at The Walvis Bay Lagoon or try some of the adventure activities in Swakopmund before heading towards Sossusvlei, deep into the Namib Desert. From Walvis Bay, you can also make your way towards the rough Skeleton Coast or the wildlife haven of Etosha National Park.
