A flat morning sea stretches toward a low, sand-swept spit; the Pelican Point lighthouse cuts a clean line on the horizon and gulls ride the salt breeze as the boat slips from the Walvis Bay waterfront. Participants meet at Mola Mola’s offices, climb aboard for a short coastal cruise and are greeted by pelicans, the occasional dolphin and the cry of terns before being dropped at the soft sand of Pelican Point Peninsula.

Wildlife
History
Walvis Bay developed as an important South Atlantic port and lagoon fishing area; Pelican Point has long been noted by mariners for its sand-spit lighthouse and seal colonies.
Conservation
Keep distance from seal colonies and avoid feeding wildlife; operators typically follow guidelines to minimize disturbance and to protect sensitive dune and lagoon habitats.

Bring a dry bag
Protect your phone, camera and spare clothing in a small waterproof dry bag—gear may get splashed during launches and landings.
Wear sturdy water shoes
Traction on wet sand and rocky shore entries matters; closed-toe water shoes or neoprene booties make beach launches safer.
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
The high UV and reflective sand make sun protection crucial; reapply after water time.
Listen to your guide
Wildlife moves unpredictably—keep a respectful distance from seals and follow the guide's instructions for entries, exits, and photography.
Waterproof dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps clothing, electronics and snacks dry during kayak transfers and shore stops.
Closed-toe water shoes
Better grip for rocky entries and protection on beaches and in shallow surf.
Sun hat and reef-safe sunscreen
High UV and reflective sand require reliable sun protection all day.
