5.00It’s been already one month ago since we did the tour, but we are still name it as one of our highlights during our Namibia trip. Kajaking with seals and a lots of jokes during the drive their made the perfect experience! Our guide Oliver was the best guide we could imagine. We could joke with him but also got a lot of interesting facts explained while driving. Felt like having your best friend giving you the tour. If you want to get the most out of the experience ask for Oliver!
Best guide we’ve ever had - Ask for Oliver :)

5.00We had an unforgettable tour, thanks to our amazing guide, Oliver. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and made us feel comfortable from the very first moment. He explained everything with so much passion and knowledge, and truly made the whole experience special. The tour itself was beautiful, one of the best things we’ve done in Namibia, and we were honestly sad when it was over. Thank you, Oliver, for an absolutely wonderful day — you made it unforgettable! 🤗
An excursion that is simply enjoyable!

5.00Our guide Leclou picked us up at the lodge early in the morning, right on time, and we set off. Even during the drive, we realized how lucky we were—Leclou showed us so much and explained everything, stopping at interesting spots and laughing heartily with us. On the way, we saw pelicans, three different species of flamingos, and much more. We learned a lot about salt production and finally reached the seal colonies. After a short introduction, we were allowed to take the kayaks out on the water – including rain gear and cell phone bags, which was very well organized! It was great fun to "play in the water" with the seals. The young seals in particular were very curious and came very close. In the end, we were a little wet (it's always good to have a spare pair of pants 😄), but completely happy! One of the guides even freed a seal pup from a fishing line – a beautiful moment that touched us all. After the tour, we enjoyed a few snacks together. Highly recommended – a great trip that we will never forget! Thank you for that, Tom & Aline

5.00Today we had an incredible experience in Namibia! We started exploring the salt production site, then kayaked with seals and watched whales from just a few meters away. After lunch in the desert, we drove through the dunes, experiencing a breathtaking adventure. Our guide, a young boy, was simply fantastic: experienced, engaging and full of love for Namibia, passing on his passion. An experience that we will hardly forget, probably among the best of our lives! Thank you Le cloue.

5.00It was a amazing and fun tour and our tour guide Oli was just fantastic! We were lucky that we were just two of use with Oli and he did explain us everything and was also talking about Swankopmund and the area on our way to the seals. He also take care of the seals and freed one from a fishing net. It was exciting to see.
Great trip!

5.00We had an unforgettable morning with our adult children. The trip was super organized. With Oliver we had a very dedicated and sympathetic guide by our side, with whom we could also see humpback whales on the drive on the beach during a stopover - it couldn't get any better!
Great experience with a great guide
