Eco
Marine Kayak Tours specializes in tours to Pelican
point, visiting the Cape Fur Seal colony,
accompanied by dolphins, pelicans, cormorans and
other friendly marine and birdlife.
The area are clearly shown on
the aerial map shown
on the left.
All tours start
early in the morning, due to the fact that the
prevailing weather conditions in Walvis Bay offer a
calm period
up to about 1pm.
The early afternoon sees the start of increasing
strength
winds from the south west, this makes
kayaking very uncomfortable in the Bay.
Starting promptly each morning helps us cover the
full
range of sights to be seen. |
