We absolutely loved our kayak tour with Jeanne. You instantly like Jeanne, she puts on a great trip and you get really close to the beautiful seals. We also saw some dolphins jumping. Don't get on the big boat - go kayaking with Jeanne. It will be more memorable! Definitely 5 stars! More

An exceptional way to experience the sheer beauty and nature Walvis Bay has to offer. Jeanne is incredibly knowledgeable and organised, making sure that each step of this journey will be remembered. The subsequent photo's and video's are a great keepsake. More

This is obviously a labour of love for Jeanne and her enthusiasm and experience was evident throughout the tour. She is very well organised and is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and positive. Jeanne took some excellent photos and she sent them to us the next day. A must do when visiting Swakopmund or Walvis Bay. More

My boyfriend and I visited Namibia in 2009. Even though we've done some pretty amazing wildlife trips after this (including snorkelling with dolphins in New Zealand, vampire bat caving in Trinidad) we always remember how much fun we kayaking with the seals in walvis bay! It was such a fascinating adventure! Jeanne did a great job with the kayaks and... More

Magical morning driving out to the point and kayaking in a misty, sunny morning in a calm sea boiling with playful adolescent seals. Our teenage daughters found this to be an absolute highlight, rivalling all the game viewing and other close encounters we had throughout our Namibia-Botswana trip. Jeanne is a lovely person and the equipment and set-up very professional.... More

As the other reviewers suggested, kayaking with Jeanne is a nice experience. We did not have the chance to see dolphins, but playing with the seals was great and the sandwiches she provided were delicious! She sent us some pictures she took of us after a couple of days. We also took a lot of pictures with our own (small)... More

This trip was very good and one of the highlights of our trip. The seals really do come right up to your kayak. Jean does not take all the trips out now and Franscois who took us out was very helpful and a really informative guy. The only reason I have not given excellent is that the info given says... More

This was one of the real highlights of a fantastic trip to Namibia. I can only agree with the earlier reviewers. Jeanne provides enthusiasm in spades as well as plenty of local wildlife knowledge. I am sure the catamaran trips are also pretty good but we felt a bit smug getting much closer and interactive with the seals. Thanks Jeanne... More

My family took this tour with Jeanne in early May. Because of all of the rain Namibia has had this year the ride out to the kayak point was a little dicey, but the views and Jeanne's commentary were wonderful. Once we got to the kayak point things went very smoothly. We kayaked out into the ocean a little to... More
