    • Depart from the Walvis Bay Yacht Club and continue into the beautiful bay area, which holds more splendour than can be seen at first glance – a shipwreck, a lighthouse, oyster platforms, different bird species, seals, and an abundance of marine life.
    • In the Bay Area, the catamaran will move alongside the oyster platforms. Your guide will share more information about locally cultivated Walvis Bay oysters. The tour includes the tasting of these delicacies.
    • The journey proceeds to Pelican Point to get a closer look at the lighthouse. The old supply railway tracks can still be seen from when the Coast Guard occupied the lighthouse. Three different types of dolphins may be encountered: the Heaviside dolphins (endemic to the Namibian coast), dusky dolphins, and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. During the season (July-November), larger mammals like southern right whales and humpback whales may be spotted. With a bit of extra luck, the mighty killer whales (orcas) might make an appearance. Look for sightings of the mola mola (sunfish) and the leatherback turtles.
    • All of this can be experienced while comfortably relaxing in the saloon, on the trampolines, or on the deck while enjoying a glass of sparkling wine and delicious snacks.
