The Coast of Namibia has been known for centuries for its
rich fishing grounds and Walvis Bay is the country's main fishing port. The harbor is modern with all of the support
systems that are
needed for deep sea vessels. It is becoming a popular
stopping place for cruise liners from which the passengers can enjoy day excursions
to see the attractions of the Namib-Desert and nearby
Swakopmund.
One of
the big attractions for visitors to Walvis Bay
are the Dolphin and Seal Cruises. It's an experience you won't forget. Some of
the seals will actually climb up into your ski-boat and 'ask' you to feed them
some fresh pilchards. You'll be given champagne and local Oysters as refreshments. And you might just see a Whale or two!
