Seal Kayaking

Seal kayaking in Swakopmund, is a popular adventure that brings you close to a colony of Cape fur seals in their natural habitat. As you paddle through the waters, you can observe the seals’ playful behaviour, hear their barks, and possibly even have curious seals approach your kayak.

Before starting, you’ll be provided with equipment and given a safety briefing by experienced guides. The experience offers fantastic photography opportunities of the seals and the scenic coastline. Seal kayaking is available year-round, though weather and seal activity may vary, so it’s good to check conditions with local tour operators.

Responsible operators follow eco-friendly practices to minimize disturbance to the seals and their environment, making it an ethical and unforgettable wildlife experience along Namibia’s picturesque coast.
