Out of the waterfront office, tours go onto the water, into the dunes, or combine the two in a single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main destination on the water is Pelican Point, a peninsula where seals, dolphins, pelicans, and — seasonally — whales come close to the boats and kayaks. A planing catamaran takes you out; from the beach, you paddle among the seal colony in either a standard sit-on kayak or a clear-hulled crystal kayak, where the transparent hull lets you watch the animals through the floor while you paddle. Guides serve a light brunch on the beach afterward, then a 4x4 drives you back along the peninsula, finishing on a dune above the pink salt pans. These kayak trips run from a quarter to eight until noon, with private departures available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a longer day, the Marine-Dune route extends south to Sandwich Harbour, driving through high coastal dunes where desert and ocean meet. The Pelican Point Beach Braai adds fresh local oysters, rock lobster, and beef fillet cooked on the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe overnight expedition heads north along the Skeleton Coast — dune fields, shipwrecks, and some of the most isolated stretches of the Namibian shoreline, sleeping under open sky.

The core offering is a three-hour guided catamaran cruise that covers the bay, the Cape fur seal colony at Pelican Point Peninsula, and the open ocean. Guides look for dolphins, pelicans, flamingos, and — depending on season — whales and sunfish. No sighting is guaranteed, but the route is planned around where the animals are on the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are seven cruise formats in total. The one-hour Blitz Cruise covers the bay with a snack and drink and no guide. The two-hour Sunset Cruise pairs sparkling wine with fresh Namibian oysters on the water as the sun drops. The three-hour Braai Cruise adds a traditional Namibian barbecue cooked on board. The Platinum Cruise runs approximately four hours and includes transfers. The Beach Lunch Cruise goes five hours, ending with guests stepping off the catamaran for lunch ashore. All guided cruises include a sparkling wine and oyster pairing; the longer formats add canapés and a dessert platter. Private charters are available across most formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn land, the company runs a half-day 4x4 tour south into the Namib-Naukluft Park to Sandwich Harbour, where tall dunes meet the Atlantic shoreline. A Welwitschia Namib Tour heads inland via Dune 7, Moon Valley, and Goanikontes to see Welwitschia plants — some up to two thousand years old — before returning through Swakopmund.

The property holds seven self-catering units, each built and decorated to its own theme, from the industrial lines of Slap Snoek to the panoramic upstairs view of Captain's Cabin. Every unit has a full kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave and cutlery, along with fibre WiFi and Netflix. Most come with a private braai area for grilling outdoors, and secure parking, either an attached garage or a courtyard space. Sandy Bottoms and Flirty Flamingo sleep four across two rooms; Slap Snoek and Pelican Crossing suit two. It is a compact base for exploring the coast. Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point sit a short drive away, reachable without crossing through the town centre, and quad biking at the nearby dunes is a common detour. The design leans on handcrafted cupboards and shelving alongside contemporary fixtures, giving each unit a distinct character rather than a uniform finish. Check-in and daily life run entirely self-catered, with kitchens stocked for cooking rather than dining out, though the walk to the Lagoon's restaurants remains short.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868304343099,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/de-baken-self-catering-accommodation-guest-house-walvis-bay-namibia-01.webp?v=1785179345"},{"product_id":"pelican-point-kayaking-24374","title":"Pelican Point Kayaking","description":"\u003cp\u003ePelican Point is a remote peninsula forty-five kilometres from Walvis Bay, and it is home to around fifty thousand Cape Fur seals.

The drive takes about an hour, with stops for photos along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the point, you launch from the protected side of the peninsula in stable, sit-inside double kayaks — seals in the water around you, occasionally on the kayak. No paddling background is required. You spend roughly one to one and a half hours on the water, depending on conditions. Children from three years old can join, seated between two adults on a fitted child seat; life jackets in all sizes are provided. The operator carries a waterproof radio and stays within mobile phone range throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drive back to Walvis Bay follows breakfast — fresh rolls, coffee, and tea on the beach at the point.
