Things to Do at the Walvis Bay Waterfront

The Walvis Bay Waterfront packs a lot into a small space. In one place, you can head out on the water to see dolphins and seals, eat fresh oysters by the harbour, shop for gifts and finish the day with a sundowner. Here are the best things to do.

1. Take a Dolphin and Seal Cruise

Morning cruises head across the bay toward Pelican Point, with dolphins, seals and seabirds along the way. Many serve oysters and bubbly on board.

2. Kayak with Seals

Paddle out at Pelican Point with curious Cape fur seals swimming around you. No experience needed.

3. Eat Fresh Walvis Bay Oysters

The oysters are farmed right here in the bay. Try them at Anchors Restaurant or Dockside Seafood & Grill.

4. Start the Day With Coffee by the Water

Grab a coffee and breakfast at La Vida Coffee House before your trip.

5. Shop for Souvenirs

Find gifts and keepsakes at The Jettyshoppe.

6. Watch the Harbour

Take a stroll and watch fishing boats, yachts and tour boats come and go. Look out for pelicans and seals hoping for a snack.

7. Enjoy a Sundowner

End the day with a drink at Pirates Wreck Sports Bar & Grill.

8. Head Out on a Desert Adventure

Many 4×4 tours to Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point start at the Waterfront.
