Atlantic cruise Walvis Bay

A cruise on Namibia's atlantic to dolphins, seals and pelicans

To stroke a seal that has slipped on board is definitely one of the highlights of the dolphin cruise on Namibia's Atlantic. There are all in all eight of those "employed" but free seals, slipping on board and if you want - you can also have them on your lap. Afterwards they will leave for the seal colony again and join the life of their fellows. International visitors will start their trip will small boats in the morning from Walvis Bay. Playful dolphins escort the boats, swim in the wake, cut capers and catch fish from the visitors on board.

Trustingly, pelicans also fly close by, waiting for fish to store in their special bags.The outing takes about four hours and ends around lunchtime on a sandbank of the Atlantic with sandwiches, champagne and fresh oysters sprinkled with lemon juice and sipped out afterwards. The interior of this delicacy still tastes quite salty - it however contains a variety of vitamins, iodine, calcium and iron. It is by the way also supposed to boost virility. Namibian seawater is clean and very rich in plankton: oysters from a Namibian aquafarm will have reached a weight of 130 gr in 12 months - in comparison European oysters will take 2 to 3 years to gain this size.
