Parking

Parking at the Walvis Bay Waterfront is free. A common scam is for car guards to lie and say parking is paid; be aware of this when parking.

Opening Hours

Hours vary by venue. Tour operators usually start early in the morning, and restaurants and the bar stay open later. Check each place’s page for its current hours:
