The experience

The morning starts at the Mola Mola Safaris offices on the Walvis Bay Waterfront, where you meet the crew and board the boat with a trained, English-speaking guide. The route to Pelican Point Peninsula crosses waters rich with seal colonies and pelican flocks. Keep watch for dolphins and the occasional whale. Multiple stops along the way break up the journey with stories of Namibian history and the Atlantic coast.

At Pelican Point Peninsula, the boat drops you on the beach where a full setup awaits: fresh Namibian oysters, a glass of champagne, a hot lunch, and beverages served under a tent with tables. The braai (BBQ) and meal take up the middle of the day, giving you time to eat, drink and watch the ocean before the boat returns you to the Waterfront to finish by late afternoon.
